The LETHE Advisory Board (AB) was set up in October 2021 and is composed of people at a higher risk of dementia and members of the public with an interest in brain health. The LETHE AB has 7 members (2 from Austria, 2 from Italy, 2 form Sweden and 1 from Finland) and will be supporting LETHE until the end of the project. This will provide an opportunity for the LETHE team to obtain relevant feedback from people who could be potential users of the LETHE app and intervention.
To achieve this, the AB will meet regularly and will address different topics of interest for the project. The first of these interactions took place during the last week of November. The topic of the meetings was the use of technology in everyday life and the most relevant requirements for the LETHE app from the perspective of users.
The meetings lasted around 2 hours and the discussions were very lively and fruitful. The discussions were co-moderated by Alzheimer Europe and THL; many other LETHE colleagues from the clinical sites and technological partners contributed to the meeting. The feedback was much appreciated by the LETHE leadership and team and will be used during the development of the app and intervention.
LETHE is a four-year project aiming to provide a data-driven risk factor prediction model for older individuals at risk of cognitive decline building upon big data analysis of cross-sectional observational and longitudinal intervention datasets from 4 clinical centres in Europe including the 11-years analysis of the FINGER study.
The LETHE project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement no 101017405.
