Smartphone Multimodal Health Intervention for Neurological Enhancement (SHINE)

This randomized controlled trial will enroll individuals aged ≥ 40 years without dementia who are at high risk for stroke, collecting multi-modal MRI imaging, serum, and fecal samples to investigate the effects of a smartphone-based multimodal health intervention on cognitive function measured using digital-evaluated cognitive scores.

About this study

The Smartphone-based multimodal Health Intervention for Neurological Enhancement (SHINE) trial is designed to test the impact of a 6-month artificial intelligence(AI)-assisted intervention utilizing smartphone-based multimodal lifestyle and stroke risk factor management on 1036 participants aged 40 years and above who are without dementia and are at high risk for stroke. The multimodal digital program integrated adaptive cognitive training, personalized cardiovascular risk management, smart wristband-based physical activity and sleep monitoring, and dietary guidance, all delivered through a smartphone application incorporating behavioral change and AI techniques. Participants in the intervention group will receive the lifestyle and stroke risk factors management, while participants in the control group will receive standard educational materials and care. The investigation will explore potential mediators and modifiers of the intervention's effects by collecting various cardiovascular risk factors, serum samples, fecal samples, neuropsychological assessment results, and multi-modal magnetic resonance imaging at baseline, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years.
