Preventing Dementia, One Step at a Time
At the Roybal Center for Promoting Adherence to Behavior Change & Enhancing Cognitive Function, we’re redefining what’s possible for lifelong brain and body health.
Our mission
Our Methodology
Our methods
Our work bridges science and everyday life by creating accessible, individualized interventions for brain and body health. By harnessing new technology and building a strong scientific community, we aim to help people move more, remember more, and thrive as they age.
Leveraging advances in generative artificial intelligence and tools from control systems engineering to personalize interventions.
Building up motivational processes — such as habit and identity — to sustain behavior change once our interventions end.
Using wearables and ambulatory monitoring methods to detect changes in behavior and cognition that adults experience in daily life.
Creating a new community of scientists that will help middle-age and older adults move more and improve their cognitive health for years to come.
Helping people hold on to their existing memories and become better equipped to make meaningful new ones.
