简要总结
This study aims to conduct cognitive training for digital biomarkers among older adults.
详细描述
The prevalence of dementia in rural areas is higher than in urban areas. However, the resource and research input on cognitive training for rural older adults still needs improvement. There is also no solution for preventing or early detection of dementia in rural areas. Unlike biomarkers that require invasive detection, digital biomarkers have been advocated in recent years for early disease prediction. However, there are still few studies on the effectiveness of digital biomarkers in evaluating cognitive function in the elderly. In addition, although previous studies have confirmed that cognitive training can be effective for older adults, it is difficult for the elderly in rural areas to obtain these cognitive-promoting resources due to distance. Moreover, the autonomy and right of choice of older adults are the keys to the success of their health behavior change.
