Effectiveness of computer-based interventions for community-dwelling people with cognitive decline: a systematic review with meta-analyses.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cognitive deficits arise with age and can increase the risk for subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which may result in dementia, leading to health problems, care dependency and institutionalization. Computer-based cognitive interventions (CCIs) have the potential to act as important counteraction functions in preserving or improving cognition concomitant to available pharmacological treatment. The aim was to assess the effectiveness of CCIs performed individually with a personal or tablet computer, game console, virtual, augmented, or mixed reality application on cognition in community-dwelling people with SCD, MCI and dementia.

Methods

A systematic review with meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was performed.
