The National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, awarded a $474,092 Project Grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to One Health Studio LLC in San Francisco, CA. The grant supports the development and evaluation of the "FLOURISH ALL" platform, an AI-enabled digital health solution aimed at reducing Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) risk in midlife women through stress management and promotion of healthy behaviors. The project will be conducted in two phases. Phase I is a 12-week pilot study with 40 participants aged 50-70 to assess the usability, acceptability, and feasibility of the FLOURISH ALL platform, which integrates an AI chatbot, wearable devices, and at-home biomarker collection kits. Phase II will build on the pilot findings and involve a larger-scale 12-week randomized controlled trial. The project seeks to address the disproportionate impact of ADRD on women, particularly the role of hormonal changes during menopause and vulnerability to stress-related disorders as key risk factors.
