Use of Cognitive Stimulation Software for Patients Over the Age of 70 Followed for Breast Cancer: COG-TAB-AGE Feasibility Study

Numerous studies have shown the impact of anti-cancer treatments on cognition and more particularly that of chemotherapy. Elderly patients also seem to be at higher risk of developing cognitive impairment. These disorders can have a particularly negative impact in this population, in particular by having repercussions on the observance of oral treatments or even on autonomy. However, investigators still have little data concerning the management of cognitive disorders induced by oncology treatments, particularly in the elderly patient. It is therefore necessary to offer care adapted to this population which will allow the reduction of the sequelae induced by cancer treatments and the improvement of the quality of life of elderly patients.Although there are no preventive measures yet, recent studies of young women being treated for breast cancer with a cognitive complaint have shown a beneficial effect of cognitive stimulation on these cognitive disorders. Stimulation programs of this type have been developed in electronic format. However, to date, they have not been the subject of specific studies with elderly patients in whom the use of computer interface can be an obstacle.Sponsor propose to set up a study aimed at evaluating the feasibility of using cognitive stimulation software on tablets with elderly patients.The HAPPYNeuron® software, developed by a French team of neurologists, speech-language pathologists and psychiatrists, offers exercises to be performed online to stimulate the cognitive functions most impaired by oncological treatments (memory, attention, executive functions and speed of treatment).For this feasibility study, the sponsor plan to include 50 patients aged 70 and over to have them test the acceptance of cognitive stimulation by this software with a tablet interface.

3 cognitive stimulation sessions in total from the HAPPYNeuron® software, approximately 20 minutes each and spread over several days
