The Effect of a 36-week Tablet-based Intervention on Multiple Domains in Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment

This is a pilot study to examine the feasibility of a formal 30-minute daily program on a tablet computer (simply a "tablet") in subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The purpose of the program, known as Kodro Solution, is to increase physical activity, maintain social interaction, improve nutrition and exercise cognitive skills using a tablet. In addition to feasibility, outcome measures will include: (a) health-related quality of life, (b) self-esteem, (c) activities of daily living, (d) socialization, (e) mood, and (f) cognition. Study participants must have a study partner who can assist them with training on use of the tablet and the Kodro Solution program. Fifty (50) study subjects and their study partners will be recruited at the Wien Center. A delayed start design will be utilized. Study subjects will be randomly assigned to either active treatment (Kodro+) or delayed treatment (Kodro+D). Active treatment with Kodro Solution will be initiated at the baseline visit for Kodro+ subjects and 12 weeks after baseline for Kodro+D subjects. The 12-week period without tablets will serve as a control. Active treatment with Kodro Solution will continue for 36 weeks for the Kodro+ subjects and 24 weeks for the Kodro+D subjects. For both groups, the outcome measures will be assessed at baseline, week 12 and week 36. The lagged design will facilitate enrollment and enable the assessment of a dose effect.
