An interventional study of Smartphone-based cognitive training in Cognitive Decline and Healthy Aging, sponsored by Taipei Medical University. Status unknown. Open to participants aged 60 Years to 95 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-10-19.

This study aims to conduct cognitive training for digital biomarkers among older adults.
The prevalence of dementia in rural areas is higher than in urban areas. However, the resource and research input on cognitive training for rural older adults still needs improvement. There is also no solution for preventing or early detection of dementia in rural areas. Unlike biomarkers that require invasive detection, digital biomarkers have been advocated in recent years for early disease prediction. However, there are still few studies on the effectiveness of digital biomarkers in evaluating cognitive function in the elderly. In addition, although previous studies have confirmed that cognitive training can be effective for older adults, it is difficult for the elderly in rural areas to obtain these cognitive-promoting resources due to distance. Moreover, the autonomy and right of choice of older adults are the keys to the success of their health behavior change.
3,930 studies on the registry are indexed under Cognitive Dysfunction; 1,114 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 90 is above the median of 64 across 2,855 interventional studies indexed under Cognitive Dysfunction.

Time frame: pretest, immediate post test, 3 month follow-up, 6 month follow-up
Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA)
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a cognitive screening tool designed to identify mild cognitive impairment, providing a quick assessment of different cognitive domains including memory, attention, language, and executive functions. It is widely utilized in clinical and research settings.The MoCA is scored out of a maximum of 30 points. A score of 26 and above is generally considered to be normal, although the specific cutoff can depend on the individual's age, educational level, and other demographic factors.
Time frame: pretest, immediate post test, 3 month follow-up, 6 month follow-up
Digit Span(DS)
Digit Span (DS) is a common test used in neuropsychological assessments to measure working memory, attention, and concentration. Each correctly repeated sequence yields one point. There are typically 16 items for the Forward Digit Span. The Backward Digit Span also has 16 items.
Time frame: pretest, immediate post test, 3 month follow-up, 6 month follow-up
Digit Vigilance Test(DVT)
The Digit Vigilance Test (DVT) is a psychological assessment tool used to measure attention and concentration, mainly focused on visual scanning and processing speed. The number of correct identifications and the time taken to complete the task are typically measured.
Time frame: pretest, immediate post test, 3 month follow-up, 6 month follow-up
Computerized version of Wisconsin Card Sort Test (WCST)
The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) is a well-established neuropsychological test widely used to assess executive functions, mainly focusing on abstract reasoning and the ability to shift cognitive strategies in response to changing environmental contingencies (i.e., set-shifting or cognitive flexibility). The computerized version of the WCST allows for efficient, standardized administration and scoring, often reducing examiner bias and error.
Time frame: pretest, immediate post test, 3 month follow-up, 6 month follow-up
Stroop color-word test (SCWT)
The Stroop Color-Word Test (SCWT) evaluates cognitive processing speed, selective attention, and cognitive flexibility, which are aspects of executive functioning. It's particularly notable for its ability to detect cognitive interference and inhibition control.Scores are typically based on:Correct Responses, Time Taken, Error Rate and Interference Score.
Time frame: pretest, immediate post test, 3 month follow-up, 6 month follow-up

Start is estimated for Oct 2023; primary completion for Jul 2024, 9 months later.
Of 1,439 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Cognitive Dysfunction, half reached primary completion within 27 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 51. This study's planned 9 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 1,512 studies reached it within 26 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 50.
