Background: Singapore's large aging population poses significant challenges for the health care system in managing cognitive decline, underscoring the importance of identifying and implementing effective interventions. Cognitive training delivered remotely as a digital therapeutic (DTx) may serve as a scalable and accessible approach to overcoming these challenges. While previous studies indicate the potential of cognitive training as a promising solution for managing cognitive decline, understanding the attitudes and experiences of older adults toward using such DTx platforms remains relatively unexplored.

The fields of precision and personalised medicine have led to promising advances in tailoring treatment to individual patients. Examples include genome/molecular alteration-guided drug selection, single-patient gene therapy design and synergy-based drug combination development, and these approaches can yield substantially diverse recommendations. Therefore, it is important to define each domain and delineate their commonalities and differences in an effort to develop novel clinical trial designs, streamline workflow development, rethink regulatory considerations, create value in healthcare and economics assessments, and other factors.

Introduction: Conventional interventional modalities for preserving or improving cognitive function in patients with brain tumour undergoing radiotherapy usually involve pharmacological and/or cognitive rehabilitation therapy administered at fixed doses or intensities, often resulting in suboptimal or no response, due to the dynamically evolving patient state over the course of disease. The personalisation of interventions may result in more effective results for this population. We have developed the CURATE.

Article Synopsis
  • Digital game-based training interventions have the potential to enhance cognitive function in both healthy adults and those with cognitive impairments, and this review aims to assess their effectiveness and key characteristics.
  • The systematic review follows guidelines and will include various study types that measure cognitive outcomes related to digital games, while excluding previous review articles but utilizing their references for additional studies.
  • Outcomes will be categorized by adult life stages and neurological disorders, with data analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively, potentially leading to a meta-analysis if comparable studies are found.

Infrared (IR) imaging can be used for fast, accurate and non-destructive pathology recognition of biopsies when supported by machine learning algorithms. Transflection mode of measurements has the potential to be translated into the clinic due to economic reasons of large-scale imaging with the need for inexpensive substrates. Unfortunately, in this mode spectral distortions originating from light interference appear.
