Shoe insole and ankle device to detect early memory decline
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if a special insole and ankle sensor can detect early signs of memory loss or dementia by tracking how you walk. If you can walk without a cane or walker and are 55 or older, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study looks at how walking patterns change in people with mild memory problems compared to healthy older adults. It may help find early signs of dementia using a simple walking test.
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 looks at how your walking (gait) might help predict future dementia and risk of falls. You may be asked to walk tests and have health information collected to see who is at higher risk.
This trial tests a program that combines digital health tools with exercise to help older adults stay active and independent. It may be a good fit if you are 65 or older and can walk or move around without major difficulty.
This study uses a special insole you put in your shoe to measure how you walk. It is for adults who feel their walking or balance is not as good as it used to be. The goal is to learn more about walking patterns so doctors can help people like you.
