Nutrition and Technology Interventions for Military Cognitive Resilience Review

Dinu Țurcanu's scoping review synthesizes evidence from nearly 79 studies published between 2010 and 2024. It maps nutritional strategies and smart technologies for monitoring cognitive resilience in military personnel under extreme conditions. The review followed JBI methodology and PRISMA-ScR guidelines, sourcing from Web of Science, PubMed, and eLibrary.ru databases.

Use Cases

• Analyze the prevalence of nutritional supplement interventions (42%) versus personalized diets (31%) across the 79 included studies.
• Investigate the reported association between caffeine and improvements in vigilance and reaction time outcomes.
• Assess the ecological validation rates of smart technologies, reported in only 25% of applicable cases.
• Map the focus of studies on metabolic or physiological markers versus direct cognitive endpoints to identify research gaps.

Strengths

• Follows established JBI methodology and PRISMA-ScR guidelines for scoping reviews.
• Systematically identifies and synthesizes evidence from nearly 79 studies published over a 14-year period (2010-2024).
• Provides quantitative breakdowns of intervention types, such as nutritional supplements (42%) and personalized diets (31%).

Limitations

• Direct cognitive endpoints were underrepresented in the majority of the reviewed studies.
• Smart technologies were applied inconsistently, with limited field validation.
• The dataset is a 275.0 KB ZIP file containing review materials, not a large-scale primary data collection.
