What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating a computer-based cognitive rehabilitation program called Enhancing Memory in Daily Life (E-MinD Life) aimed at delaying functional decline related to cognitive changes in Chinese healthy older adults, those with memory complaints, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and mild dementia. This pilot study is conducted in Hong Kong and includes participants without depression or other clinical conditions affecting cognition. The study uses a randomized controlled design to assess the feasibility and benefits of the E-MinD Life program. The trial has two groups: one receives the E-MinD Life Semantic program, which teaches memory strategies applied to 12 daily activities over 9 weeks with weekly sessions led by healthcare professionals and family-assisted home practice. The other group receives cognitive stimulation through visual and auditory memory activities with a similar schedule. Both interventions include one 45-minute individual session and two 30-minute home sessions weekly. Participants will attend sessions either face-to-face or online, with family or carers involved for support and observation. Researchers will assess acceptability at the end of the 9-week intervention and measure feasibility through attendance rates. Cognitive and daily living abilities will be evaluated using various tests from enrollment to intervention end. The total participation includes these assessments and intervention monitoring over 9 weeks.
