Clinical Trial Summary

The Ability research project, funded in Italy within the Smart Cities and Smart Communities funding program (MInistry of University and Research, Operational Regional Programme, Lombardy, Axis 1, Operational Regional Programme - European Funding for Regional Development 2007-2013), aims at developing and testing the efficacy and the impact of a Personal Smart Health Community able to provide innovative trajectories for people with cognitive impairment, putting them at the core of a continuous and intertwining treatment and support from both formal (e.g. physicians) and informal (e.g. near relatives) caregivers, with special focus on home-based care.

Within this framework of the Ability project the investigators test the efficacy of the home-based motor-cognitive rehabilitation program delivered with two different approaches: the Ability platform versus the usual care program

Intervention

Other:
Ability platform program
The Ability program is an at home participant-tailored and technology-enhanced platform a) delivering tablet-based intensive (five days/a week for six weeks) motor and cognitive activities; b) monitoring from remote vital and physical health parameters (i.e., weight, Heart Rate, O2 saturation, daily steps, sleep activity).
Usual care program
Usual care at home program (paper and pencil cognitive activities; promotion of physical activity according to healthcare professional's advice)
