Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 45–60 in the chronic stage of stroke (≥3 months) with cognitive impairment (MoCA ≤ 26), who are medically stable and able to follow instructions, are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
People with severe visual, hearing, or speech impairments, other neurological or psychiatric disorders, unstable systemic disease, or severe depression (BDI > 29) are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

What this trial studies
This interventional study enrolls adults 45–60 years old with chronic stroke (at least 3 months post-onset) and cognitive impairment (MoCA ≤ 26). Participants will receive either Cognifit, an AI-powered mobile cognitive training application, or conventional cognitive rehabilitation. Cognitive function will be measured before and after the intervention to compare changes between the two groups. The study is conducted at the Physical Therapy department of Cairo University in Cairo, Egypt.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the app could offer an accessible way to improve memory, attention, and other thinking skills for people recovering from stroke.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research on computer- and app-based cognitive training after stroke has shown mixed but sometimes positive results, while AI-specific app evidence remains limited.
