Getting a $44.4 million from the National Institutes of Aging is a big deal. That’s how much was recently awarded to the PACT Study (Preventing Alzheimer’s with Cognitive Training). The grant was awarded to a team led by Dr. Jerri Edwards, who has been involved in several prior studies using BrainHQ exercises. This study will test the effectiveness of BrainHQ in preventing Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and dementia. The study plans to enroll 7600 people, and won’t be done until 2027, because it takes time to track the development of dementia in a group of people. I can’t overstate the importance of this study. Prior study results show that people can change the trajectories of their cognitive health, and we are thrilled to see BrainHQ put to this new test. For more information, read this article. |
