The Effects of Computerized Cognitive Training via Tablet and Computer Platforms on Cognitive Function in Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a high-risk prodromal stage of dementia. While tablet/computer-based computerized cognitive training (CCT) is widely used, its efficacy and gamification's role need clarification. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of tablet/computer-based CCT on global cognition in older adults with MCI and explore the impact of gamification. Methods: We systematically searched five databases for RCTs (through October 2025) involving individuals aged ≥55 with MCI. The intervention was task-based CCT via tablets/computers. Primary outcome was global cognition. We used random-effects meta-analysis and subgroup analyses. Results: Nineteen RCTs (1013 participants) were included. CCT demonstrated a significant, moderate
