Active Brains
The study team has developed a new website called ‘Active Brains’ which aims to help older adults (60-85 years) look after their brain and body health to help prevent cognitive decline. The website will help older adults to make simple changes such as getting more active, playing brain training games and finding ways to eat more healthily.
The primary aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the Active Brains digital intervention to help support older adults with and without cognitive impairment in making healthy changes to maintain cognitive function and prevent cognitive decline. Participants will be randomised to one of 3 arms: 1) Usual care, 2) website access, 3)website access and brief support from a trained person.
