Technology and Dementia: The Future is Now

“…The potential of digital activities for brain training either to reduce dementia risk has attracted much popular attention. However, while there is consistent evidence of improvement in the aspect of cognitive function that is trained (e.g., processing speed), to date there is no substantial evidence for dementia prevention or delaying decline [63]. However, the FINGER trial has demonstrated that computerised cognitive training can be beneficial in reducing dementia risk as one part of a multidimensional lifestyle intervention [64].…”

A program of exercise, brain training, and lecture to prevent cognitive decline

“…According to recent systematic reviews, there is insufficient evidence for the cognitive benefits of single‐component physical activity . Alternatively, cognitive training can improve intellectual function, but these gains are generally restricted to the training domain . The Finnish Geriatric Intervention Study to Prevent Cognitive Impairment and Disability (FINGER) study reported that multidomain intervention including diet, exercise, cognitive training, and vascular risk monitoring improved multidomain neuropsychological test performance .…”
