Targeting Network Dysfunction in Apathy of Late-life Depression Using Digital Therapeutics
Sponsor: AdventHealth
Summary
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the potential of a customized digital cognitive training intervention to target aspects of brain function in apathy of late-life depression and reduce symptoms of apathy and related cognitive and behavioral deficits. The investigators hypothesize that 4 weeks of a customized digital cognitive training program will lead to changes in brain connectivity, apathy severity, and cognitive control performance.

Interventions
Targeted Cognitive Training Intervention
In this intervention, participants will complete 25-30 minutes of cognitive training per day, 5 days/week (but up to 7 days/week) for 4 weeks. The training protocol will be delivered via the Posit Science Platform, and includes tasks that emphasize training of sustained attention, salience detection, and dimensions of cognitive control. During the 4 week intervention, participants will have weekly 10-20 minute visits with a Care Manager to provide clinical monitoring of symptoms and structured support to participants.
General Cognitive Training Intervention
In this intervention, participants will complete 25-30 minutes of cognitive activities per day, 5 days/week (but up to 7 days/week) for 4 weeks. The training protocol will be delivered via the Posit Science Platform. The intervention protocol will include computerized cognitive activities designed to provide general cognitive stimulation. During the 4 week intervention, participants will have weekly 10-20 minute visits with a Care Manager to provide clinical monitoring of symptoms and structured support to participants.
