The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether an AI-powered digital brain health coaching intervention can improve modifiable brain health risk factors in community-dwelling adults aged 40 and above in Singapore.
The main question it aims to answer is: does the use of BLAZE, an AI-powered digital brain health coaching intervention, lead to a greater improvement in Brain Care Score (BCS) compared to usual care at 6 months?
Researchers will compare participants receiving BLAZE to those receiving usual care (waitlist control) to see if BLAZE leads to greater improvements in brain health risk factors, behavioural outcomes, quality of life, and cost-effectiveness.
Participants will:
Dementia represents a growing public health challenge in Singapore and across the Asia-Pacific region, with prevalence projected to rise substantially as the population ages. Up to 40% of dementia risk is attributable to modifiable lifestyle factors, highlighting significant potential for prevention through targeted behavioural interventions. Despite this, translating evidence-based lifestyle recommendations into sustained behavioural change in community settings remains a significant challenge, particularly given the limited time available for personalised guidance in primary care.
The THINK-SHARP trial evaluates BLAZE (Brain health Lifestyle Action with personaliZed Engagement), a theory-driven AI-powered digital coaching intervention designed to support brain health behaviours in community-dwelling adults. BLAZE is grounded in the Capability-Opportunity-Motivation-Behaviour (COM-B) framework, a well-established behavioural science model, and is delivered via a WhatsApp-based platform integrated with a large language model (LLM). The intervention operates through four integrated modules - Assessment, Education, Nudge, and Coaching - to deliver personalised recommendations, behavioural prompts, and goal-setting support tailored to each participant's individual brain health profile.
Personalisation is driven by the Brain Care Score (BCS), a validated composite measure of modifiable physical, lifestyle, and social-emotional risk factors for brain health. BLAZE uses each participant's BCS profile to identify priority areas for behavioural change and generates adaptive, data-driven recommendations accordingly. All content is informed by a curated knowledge base developed in collaboration with neurologists and geriatricians to ensure clinical relevance and safety.
The trial employs a two-arm, waitlist-controlled randomised controlled trial (RCT) design, with 350 participants randomised 1:1 to either the immediate intervention arm or the waitlist control arm. The immediate intervention arm receives BLAZE for 12 months, while the waitlist control arm receives usual care for the first 6 months before crossing over to receive BLAZE for a further 6 months. The primary outcome is the between-group difference in BCS at 6 months. Secondary outcomes assess changes across six domains: physical function, lifestyle behaviours, self-management and health engagement, cognitive function, quality of life, and social health.
Beyond clinical effectiveness, the trial incorporates a concurrent process evaluation to assess implementation outcomes including adherence, feasibility, usability, and perceived value of the intervention. A model-based health economic evaluation will also be conducted to estimate the long-term cost-effectiveness of BLAZE from the Singapore public healthcare payer perspective. Together, these components provide a comprehensive assessment of BLAZE's potential as a scalable, behaviourally grounded approach to community brain health promotion.
This trial also contributes novel evidence on the applicability of the Brain Care Score within a Southeast Asian community-dwelling population, extending its validation beyond previously studied settings and supporting its relevance for regional brain health promotion efforts.

This study is a two-arm, parallel-group randomised controlled trial with a 1:1 allocation ratio. Following recruitment, participants will be randomly allocated to either the intervention or control group. The intervention group will receive personalised brain health coaching through the AI-coach for 12 months, while the control group will receive standard care, followed by access to the AI-coach for the subsequent 6 months. This delayed introduction of the AI-coach allows comparison of intervention effectiveness at 6 months as the primary outcome timepoint, with secondary assessments at 12 months to evaluate sustainability of change and within-group effects
