Objectives

Narrative objectives1

It is important to encourage people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or those at a stage where forgetfulness is a concern to visit a medical institution at the appropriate time. However, the proportion of older people in the general population who indicate a willingness to undergo regular dementia screening tests is low, and at the same time, considering the medical costs of blood tests and biomarkers used to diagnose MCI and the time burden of testing, it is suggested that older people with MCI levels may not see significant benefits. In recent years, it has been recommended that nurses and others use tablet-based cognitive function testing applications as a diagnostic aid tool. Apps for cognitive function assessment are also being developed in Japan, including one that can visualise an individual's cognitive function over time as a personal health record(PHR).The aim of this study is to examine whether, by utilising these apps, the individual can freely learn about changes in his/her own cognitive function over time, share the information with medical professionals, and provide the necessary information at the appropriate time, leading to behavioural changes in dementia prevention and early medical consultation, and ultimately to the prevention of dementia progression.

Basic objectives -Others

The PHR is used for one year to measure the effectiveness of behaviour change for dementia prevention and ultimately maintenance of cognitive function, by monitoring one's own cognitive function status and receiving advice from nursing professionals.

Interventions/Control_1

The brain fitness trainer CogEvo (Total Brain Care) and LINE are installed on the subject's smartphone, tablet or PC at the start of the intervention and can be used freely at home for one year. Changes in cognitive function over time are stored by the individual and the principal investigator in the CogEvo brain fitness trainer, and information can be shared online, which is used as a PHR. The principal investigator checks the cognitive function and usage status (measurement history) at the end of each month, and sends information and advice on dementia prevention via LINE messages, depending on the condition.

Interventions/Control_2

Control group: The MCI Handbook to Energise the Brain and Body (National Institute for Longevity Sciences) will be distributed at the briefing session,followed by no intervention.

Key inclusion criteria

(1) People living in Akashi City and Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, who are concerned about memory loss and have been diagnosed with MCI in the past.
(2) Persons who are able to obtain written consent to participate in the study of their own free will after receiving a full explanation of their participation in the study and with sufficient understanding.
(3) Persons aged 65 years or older at the time of obtaining consent.

Key exclusion criteria

(1) People with a diagnosis of dementia or who scored less than 780 on the CogEvo brain fitness trainer in the baseline survey (because a score of less than 23 on the Mini-Mental State Examination is considered to be equivalent to dementia).
(2) People with visual impairment (because the test includes a colour discrimination test).
(3) People who are taking antipsychotic medication
(4) Other people whom the principal investigator judges to be unsuitable as research subjects.
