MCI, often a precursor to dementia, presents an opportunity for early intervention. This study investigates effects of Tai Chi combined with music therapy on function in adult individuals MCI. Methods In this randomized controlled trial, 66 participants MCI were randomly assigned one following three groups: Control Group (CG), (TCG), and Combined Music (TCMG), 22 each group. was evaluated over 12-week intervention using Montreal Assessment (MoCA), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Stroop Color Word Test. Results Baseline characteristics showed no significant differences groups. The TCG TCMG exhibited improvements after 16-week group improved MoCA score ( P = 0.005), attention accuracy 0.031), delayed recall 0.003). notable enhancements 0.000), MMSE 0.001), 0.025), visuospatial executive functions naming 0.014), abstraction 0.020), 0.006).

Low-cost technology devices, such as smartphones (SPs) and smart watches (SWs), are widely used today to monitor various health effects environmental risk factors associated with them. However, the efficacy of using these devices monitoring tools is largely unknown. The present study attempts narrow this knowledge gap by reviewing recent studies in which low-cost technological were sleep factors. focuses on peer-refereed articles that appear three major scientific databases, Web Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, published between 2002 2022. Of 15,000+ records retrieved from databases systematic literature review (PRISMA) search, 15 identified most relevant consequently analyzed. analysis shows nighttime light pollution noise commonly monitored (eight studies), followed temperature (seven humidity CO2 (four studies). In eight studies, tandems SPs SWs sleep, while six data obtained compared conventional devices. general, SP SW measurements found be fairly accurate for less noise. At same time, no conducted date analyzed demonstrated effectiveness ambient temperature, humidity, air pressure. Our general conclusion although often lack precision professional instruments, they can nevertheless large-scale field research citizen science initiatives, their feasibility several attributes have yet determined.
