Summary

New research led by Monash University shows a multi-domain dementia risk reduction program delivered by general practice nurses can improve estimated dementia profiles in middle-aged adults, offering a practical new model for proactive brain health.

It found that a 12-month, nurse-led intervention involving the HAPPI MIND app produced a statistically significant improvement in participants' dementia risk scores compared to standard care.
