This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the effect of a light treatment on sleep, memory and brain function. In people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease, sleep-wake disturbance is evident in up to 60% of patients. This can be caused by disruption of circadian rhythms and may affect our health and well-being. Circadian rhythms are the natural cycle of physical, mental, and behavior changes that the body goes through in a 24-hour cycle. Circadian rhythms are mostly affected by light and darkness and are controlled by a small area in the middle of the brain. They can affect sleep, body temperature, hormones, appetite, and other body functions. The circadian system plays an important role in the body and can affect sleep and brain function. The results of the research would help develop light-delivery methods to improve sleep and memory in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease who typically spend a significant amount of time indoors.

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.
