The study, known as “POINTER,” involved more than 2,000 participants aged between 60 and 79. They underwent a program focusing on modifying behaviors through various activities, including electronic mental games, health programs, and regular exercise, alongside enhancing social interaction, according to “Medical Express.” The results revealed a significant improvement in cognitive functions among all participants, with the best outcomes recorded among those who received intensive technological interventions.
Researchers are set to present additional data in December on the impact of these interventions on sleep quality, cardiovascular health, gut functions, and brain indicators, based on a four-year follow-up.
Despite the cost-related challenges, experts affirm that integrating technology in providing behavioral and social support is a promising step towards sustainable prevention.
