Coaching for Cognition in Alzheimer's (COCOA)

One major study objective is, using 2 study arms (data-driven health coaching plus RC vs. RC only), to evaluate the efficacy of data-driven health coaching. 'RC only' will serve as the control group. Participants will be enrolled in the trial on the basis of an existence of objective cognitive impairment defined by the MCI Screen (MCIS) and being in one of three functional stages as defined by the Functional Assessment Staging Test (FAST). The three FAST stages correspond to cognitive impairment without functional impairment (FAST 2), cognitive impairment with functional impairment without impairment in instrumental activities of daily living (FAST 3, also known as mild cognitive impairment, MCI), or cognitive impairment with impaired instrumental activities of daily living (FAST 4). Study objectives include measuring treatment related changes in cognitive and functional abilities, quality of life, and biological or biochemical measures. A second major study objective is to analyze longitudinal multi-omic data from individuals on a trajectory of early-stage dementia, to discover correlations between measured variables, and identify models of causation that can further advance knowledge and research in brain degeneration and healthy living
