Study Summary

The current study will examine the use of a mobile electronic application used to deliver cognitive rehabilitation to patients with mild cognitive impairment due (MCI) due to Alzheimer's disease (AD), and patients with mild AD.

The investigators will compare changes in MMSE scores both pre- and post- in the intervention group, but also compare p
