Brain Boosters 2 in Persons at Risk for Alzheimer's Disease: a Digital Application Supported Intervention
Sponsor: University of California, Davis
Summary
The purpose of this research is to determine if training in memory support aids and healthy lifestyle activities (physical exercise, mentally stimulating activities and stress management) can have a positive effect on memory, thinking, and activities that people do every day. Participation in this study will involve being placed into one of two groups: a Self-Guided Intervention Group or a Structured Intervention Group. Both groups will be asked to attend group sessions in which they will be provided education on memory support strategies and lifestyle changes. The Structured Intervention Group will also be provided with an iPad and a digital application (called EMMA) to track their activity. Study participation involves a 6-month intervention and completing outcome measures at 4 different time points for up to a year.

Interventions
Self-Guided
People in this arm will come to 15 information sessions. These sessions will provide training and education on memory support strategies and healthy lifestyles. You will decide how you want to implement this information into your daily life.
Structured Group
People in this group will come to 15 information sessions. The study will provide recommended behavior targets (like how much exercise you should have each week). Participants in this group will either receive an iPad or have a special application installed on their own personal device. They will receive training on how to use the application, and will be asked to use the application to record their activities and receive reminders.
