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.

This study uses a small wearable device to track walking and movement, which may help spot early signs of memory problems. It aims to see if this technology can help doctors detect cognitive decline sooner.
This study follows people with Alzheimer's disease over time to learn more about the condition and improve future care. It is an observational study, meaning participants receive their usual care while researchers collect information.
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 a technology tool to help older adults manage their medications on their own. It aims to see if this tool helps people who live alone and have some memory challenges better manage their blood pressure medicine.
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.
