Remote sensors to study daily activities in older adults with mild memory loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses remote sensors (like motion detectors) to see how older adults with mild memory or thinking problems go about their daily lives. It may help researchers learn how to better support people with early dementia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older
- You live in your own home or apartment (not a nursing home or assisted living)
- You have been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia (like early Alzheimer's)
- Your diagnosis was made by a specialist at the University of Missouri Healthcare System
- You are able to take part in your normal daily activities

This study tests a wearable sensor device that tracks walking and thinking to help detect and monitor early memory decline. Participation involves wearing the sensor during daily activities and attending clinic visits, which may help identify changes in cognitive function over time.
This trial uses stem cell therapy and a wearable headband that reads your brain waves to help detect and treat early memory problems. It is for older adults who may have mild forgetfulness but no dementia diagnosis, and involves both screening and a 3-year follow-up.
This study screens people aged 60–80 for early signs of Alzheimer's disease in a community setting. Researchers will ask you questions and may perform brain imaging to understand who might benefit from early detection and treatment.
This study tests whether listening to a steady beat (rhythmic music) while walking can improve movement and brain function in people with mild Alzheimer's disease. Healthy volunteers are also needed for comparison.
This study uses sensors in your home to track how you perform everyday tasks like cooking and cleaning. Researchers want to better understand how older adults stay active and independent in their daily lives.
This trial tests a telemonitoring system to track daily activities in older adults living alone who receive home care. It aims to see if this technology can help support their independence and safety.
