Computer-based Memory Strategy Training for Older Adults

This study looks at how a computer-based program called E-MinD Life (Semantic) can help improve daily life skills in older adults. It focuses on three groups in Hong Kong: healthy older adults, those with memory complaints, and those with mild cognitive problems like Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or mild dementia. The goal is to see if this program can make everyday tasks easier for these groups. This research is important because it could provide new ways to support individuals with memory concerns or early stages of dementia, helping them maintain their independence and quality of life. Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to different groups to test the effectiveness of the program. They will use the computer-based training, which is designed to work on memory and cognitive skills. Researchers will measure the impact of this program by recording changes in participants' cognitive scores, using tools like the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Family members or caregivers are also involved, as their observations can provide additional insights into the participants' progress. The study aims to gather information on how practical and beneficial this training is for improving day-to-day functioning in older adults.
