Computer tests to study early Alzheimer’s changes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses computer and touch-screen tasks to measure thinking changes in people who may be in the early, symptom-free stage of Alzheimer’s disease. It aims to understand how these brain-related changes show up on testing, which could help future detection or tracking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a computer-based platform to test memory and thinking in healthy adults and in people with mild memory concerns (called aMCI). The goal is to better understand how memory changes with age and to spot early signs of Alzheimer's disease.
This study looks at whether online motor (movement) and thinking tasks can detect early changes related to Alzheimer’s disease. You may be able to take part if you’re over 50 and do not already have a diagnosis of dementia.
This study is testing whether simple digital memory tests and blood tests can help find people who might qualify for anti-amyloid treatments (medications that target Alzheimer's-related proteins). It aims to make screening easier and faster, without needing a spinal tap or PET scan.
This study looks for brain/biological “signals” (biomarkers) that may identify Alzheimer’s disease earlier, including stages before clear symptoms. You may be followed for about 5 years, with repeated memory and thinking testing to see how these signs relate to future diagnosis.
This research study tests new blood tests that may detect early signs of Alzheimer's disease in people who currently have normal thinking and memory. By participating, you help researchers understand who might be at risk and develop better ways to predict the disease early.
This study uses MRI brain scans and memory tests to help detect early Alzheimer’s disease. It compares people with Alzheimer’s (diagnosed by a clinician) with people without memory problems to see which scan and test results stand out.
