Summary

This trial will test whether it is possible to enroll patients in a study to improve their thinking skills after they have had a hematopoietic cell transplant, as well as whether patients are interested in learning about their genetic risk for cognitive impairment after the transplant.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 21 who had a bone marrow transplant at UAB, are 3-6 months post-transplant, and can use an internet-connected computer. It's not for those with neurological or major psychiatric disorders, significant sensory/motor issues, color blindness, or recent neuropsychological intervention.
What is being tested?
The study tests if the Lumosity cognitive training program helps improve brain function in people who've had a bone marrow transplant. Participants will either start training right away or be placed on a waitlist (control group) to compare results.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves cognitive exercises using Lumosity rather than medication, traditional side effects like you'd see with drugs aren't expected. However, participants may experience fatigue or frustration.
