Summary

Aging is often associated with pathological pathway such as in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), and that pathway may be associated to a high risk of dementia.

Tools for early identification of functional and cognitive decline and effectiveness of treatments in counteracting the loss of functionality to preserve MCI subjects autonomy, have been widely debated in recent years.

In literature, the importance of combined cognitive and physical training is also recognized (Karssemeijer E, 2017).

Moving from the above mentioned findings and considerations, the aim of GOAL project is to test a newly developed tele-rehabilitation platform to monitor and preserve functional and cognitive abilities in individuals affected by Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).

Participants will be enrolled and randomly assigned to the tele-rehabilitation (GOAL group) or usual care program (control group). A dedicated application will be developed for the GOAL group. Thanks to the application, the participant will access different contents, such as serious games to train cognitive abilities (Anguera et al,2013) and physical training video lessons to endorse daily activity. Each participant of GOAL group will be provided with a tablet, with the application installed on it, and an internet connection (if needed).

Tele-rehabilitation

Each subject undergoes a combined rehabilitation protocol, which will be administered on a daily basis, designed to alternate physical exercises and cognitive training. Each daily session lasts between 30 and 45 minutes. The complete protocol lasts 8 weeks.
