360°-Based Cognitive-Motor Training System for Older Adults With Cognitive Impairment: User-Centered Design and Evaluation Study.
Article in JMIR aging, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundEvidence suggests that older adults can improve dual-task (DT) performance through specific motor-cognitive training programs. Recent technological advancements have facilitated the development of novel rehabilitative DT methodologies. In particular, the DUAL-REHAB project exploits 360° technology to develop ecological, cost-effective DT exercises for clinical and home settings.
objectiveThis study aimed to comprehensively understand the DUAL-REHAB project's end users (older adults with subjective memory complaints [SMC] and mild cognitive impairment [MCI]) and obtain feedback on an initial DUAL-REHAB mobile app prototype using a user-centered design approach.
methodsThe study used a 2-phase procedure. In the first phase (user requirements), we investigated end users' lifestyles, habits, perceived well-being, technology adoption, and cognitive and cognitive-motor DT training expectations. In the second phase (prototype evaluation), we developed and tested a DUAL-REHAB mobile app prototype to assess its functionality with end users.
resultsOverall, 14 participants were initially recruited for the study. The sample included 7 women with a mean age of 79 (SD 3.79) years and 7 men with a mean age of 82.43 (SD 5.65) years. One female participant was excluded for not meeting the criteria for either group; accordingly, the final sample study included 13 participants, with 8 categorized as MCI and 5 categorized as SMC. Participants reported structured daily routines with high autonomy, although some faced challenges with social connections. Perceived well-being was moderate across physical (mean 2.79, SD 0.97), psychological (mean 3.14, SD 0.86), and cognitive (mean 3.14, SD 0.53) domains. The perceived technology skills were low (mean 2.57, SD 0.94), with low digital literacy (mean 2.21, SD 0.89). Interest in cognitive training was high, with 92.31% (12/13) participants aware of its benefits and demonstrating strong interest (mean 4.15, SD 1.34) and perceived use (mean 4.15, SD 1.28). While only 46.15% (6/13) were aware of the possibility of DT training with technology, 92.31% (12/13) were willing to participate, and 84.61% (11/13) were open to home-based training. The preferred frequency was 2-3 days per week (63.64%, 7/11), with 10-20 minute sessions (8/11, 72.72%). Prototype evaluation revealed specific usability issues related to icon identification, device interaction, and navigation between training days.
conclusionsWe obtained valuable insights into the lifestyles, habits, and technological needs of older adults with MCI and SMC, which will guide DUAL-REHAB training development to align with user needs and capabilities. Our findings emphasize the importance of simplified technological processes with intuitive interfaces. Additionally, structured interaction opportunities during clinical and at-home training could enhance motivation, facilitate timely problem resolution, and address participants' social needs.
