The UCSF Neuroscape Roybal Center for Cognitive Interventions in Aging aims to enhance cognitive abilities in older adults by leveraging mobile technology. The center focuses its research on older adults, assessing the efficacy of app-based interventions that target cognitive domains associated with impairment. The UCSF Neuroscape Roybal Center specializes in developing adaptive, closed-loop digital interventions to provide an engaging experience with results that translate to real-world outcomes.
The UCSF Neuroscape Roybal Center for Cognitive Interventions in Aging is proud to be part of the National Institute of Aging (NIA) Roybal Network.
