PROTECT in Hong Kong
The PROTECT Study is an exciting opportunity to take part in a major worldwide research project that aims to understand how healthy brains age and why people develop dementia.
If you sign up, you will contribute to a medical study aiming to discover ways to prevent dementia and have access to scientifically tested brain training games.
PROTECT is run by the University of Exeter, UK in partnership with the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
“Understanding how the brain ages is a critical step towards preventing dementia in the future. PROTECT offers a unique and exciting way for thousands of adults to support this innovative research.”
Professor Clive Ballard, Dean of the
University of Exeter Medical School.
