Through a user-friendly online platform and optional guidance from a healthy lifestyle advisor, Luci addresses three pillars: healthy eating, physical activity, and intellectual stimulation.
Science
Providing the Canadian population with a science-based and scientifically validated multidomain intervention program.
Scientific foundations
Luci is evidence-based and relies on proven behavioural change theories in order to promote the prevention of cognitive decline:
- Multidomain intervention focused on modifiable risk factors for cognitive decline (Livingston et al. 2020; Rosenberg et al. 2020)
- Behavioural change approach: transtheoretical model (Prochaska & DiClemete, 1986), behavioural change wheel model (Michie et al. 2014), and motivational interviewing (Rollnick & Miller, 1995)
Scientific validation process
Based on the ORBIT model for developing behavioural change interventions, our scientific validation process consists of three successive phases: the proof of concept, the pilot feasibility study, and the efficacy study.
The aim is to determine whether the Luci program is effective in helping participants improve their lifestyle habits to promote brain health.
