Effectiveness of Home-based Electronic Cognitive Therapy in Alzheimer's Disease
Stopped early · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Memory Disorders, Mild Cognitive Impairment, Alzheimer's Disease
In brief
The current study will examine the use of a mobile electronic application used to deliver cognitive rehabilitation to patients with mild cognitive impairment due (MCI) due to Alzheimer's disease (AD), and patients with mild AD. Patients will be given a specific cognitive rehabilitation program on their mobile device (iPad) with specific tasks for them to complete. The goal of this study is to determine if a) patients are able to use and adhere to a cognitive rehabilitation program delivered to their mobile device and b) to determine if patients can improve their language, attention, and memory by completing cognitive rehabilitation tasks assigned to them.
