Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: B-Fit interventionExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

Combines group education about brain health with individualized goal-setting and group problem-solving to help participants effectively integrate healthy behavioral changes into their everyday lives.

Group II: Education OnlyActive Control1 Intervention

Provide group education about healthy behavior changes without problem-solving component.

Group III: Wait-listActive Control1 Intervention

No intervention administered. Will be offered intervention following a delay.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What does the team anticipate will be produced from this investigation?

"This clinical trial is designed to measure changes in healthy brain aging behaviour, which will be monitored through the HAAE at baseline and post-test intervals (appr. 2 months) and follow-up (appr. one year). Additionally, wearable sensors will be used for objective behavioural change detection. The NIH Toolbox surveys are employed to assess psychological wellbeing by measuring positive affect, general life satisfaction, and meaning/purpose; social wellbeing including emotional support, friendship, instrumental support etc.; as well as physical capability via a composite score from gait speed tests etc.."
