Between 11 and 14 hours of app-based speed training over five weeks may reduce the risk of dementia by 48% 10 years later, according to a study. Researchers investigated 2,832 healthy patients aged 65-94 and recommended speed training from the age of 50 to benefit. The study found that those who took part in an app or online course were more likely than others to improve their cognitive function at least three months after completing it.
