21/11/2024

Researchers from the Lethe project have published a new article in the journal of Alzheimer's Research & Therapy. The article is entitled “A digitally supported multimodal lifestyle program to promote brain health among older adults (the LETHE randomized controlled feasibility trial)” and describes the Lethe study design, progress and first results. The Lethe study will last two years and will evaluate the feasibility of a digitally supported, adapted FINGER intervention among older adults at-risk, in four European countries (Austria, Finland, Italy, Sweden). In the trial, technology will be used to complement in-person activities, personalise recommendations, and collect digital biomarkers. The trial started in September 2022 and after the first six months, its first results show a good retention rate (over 98%). The article also includes a section about the Public Involvement activities which have been organised in this project by Alzheimer Europe. Ana Diaz, Public Involvement Lead at Alzheimer Europe is one of the co-authors of the article.
