A Mobile Application Intervention for Emotional Health in Older Adults: Designed for Dementia Prevention.

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

Adults aged 60 and over, none of whom had dementia, used a phone app called MELI built to protect thinking skills. Researchers measured depression, anxiety and life satisfaction before and after. The abstract does not show a comparison group chosen at random, so this shows a link at best, not proof the app caused the change. It has nothing to do with kidney disease.
