This project aims to introduce solutions for strengthening the management capabilities of two types of patients, in terms of care and prevention. Specifically, it is aimed at neurological patients with mild or minor neurocognitive decline (Mild Cognitive Impairment, MCI) and endocrinological patients diagnosed with obesity. The study want to enhance the predictive capacity of the care process management system through an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system. All patients diagnosed with MCI and obesity who, within 30 months, will be referred to the Neurology and Endocrinology clinics of the IRCCS Centro Neurolesi Bonino-Pulejo in Messina will be evaluated.

Study design

Patients will not be subjected to any procedure that goes beyond normal clinical practice; the clinical and neuropsychological variables that will be collected for the study are those that are commonly collected in normal clinical practice. All patients diagnosed with MCI and obesity who, within 30 months, will be referred to the Neurology and Endocrinology clinics of the IRCCS Centro Neurolesi Bonino-Pulejo in Messina will be evaluated.

All patients will undergo clinical, neuropsychological and psychological evaluation at the beginning (baseline T0), at the end (T1) and after ... months from the end of treatment (follow up T2).
