Digital Memory Notebook for Cognitive Support

This study is testing a tablet-based application called the Digital Memory Notebook (DMN) to help older adults with memory concerns in their daily lives. The DMN is designed to overcome limitations of paper-based memory aids by offering organized digital files, search functions, and alarms. You might be able to join if you are at least 60 years old, speak English fluently, and have subjective cognitive complaints (SCC) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI). You will also need a study partner to complete surveys. The study will measure how often you use the DMN application by tracking the number of entries you make each week for 10 weeks. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 20 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
What's involved
You would participate in 2-hour weekly sessions for 6 weeks to learn how to use the DMN, continue using the app for 4 weeks afterward, and complete questionnaires at three time points over 12 weeks. Your study partner will also complete questionnaires.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will continue to use the DMN app for 4 weeks after the 6-week intervention, and data will be assessed for 4 weeks after the last session.
