Clinical trials

Due to the increasing incidence of dementia and the lack of causal treatment, non-pharmacological interventions represent an attractive and effective therapeutic strategy of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease. The aim of the study is to assess the impact of a supervised 9-month intervention with aerobic-strength training and nutritional counseling compared to cognitive training and stretching on the brain, cognitive and motor functions, metabolism, physical fitnes and plasma markers of neurodegenertion in older adults at increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.

The principal objective of the project is: * to bring together academic and business research organisations in a joint partnership integrating technological and social innovation, * in order to develop proof-of-concept of a scalable and cost effective personalised digital health program for (pre)obesity patients, * by integrating, in an ethical manner, adaptive AI components aimed at personalisation of the program as well as its cost management, * with the ultimate objective to support sustained behavioural change leading to adoption and internalisation of healthy lifestyle choices.
