WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU: This study of 20 AL residents who scored in the range of mild cognitive impairment on the MoCA was designed to test the efficacy of a mobile-based program on cognitive functioning (the Silvia program). The intervention group received the mobile program’s lifestyle intervention for 50-60 mins, twice weekly, for 12 weeks. The intervention group showed significant improvement in MoCA scores (23.6 vs. 24.3) while the control group declined (22.0 vs. 21.7).
