Monitoring brain health by phone in older adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether regular telephone check-ins can help spot early signs of memory or thinking problems in older adults who have certain brain scan findings. It aims to improve care for people at higher risk of cognitive decline.
