Wearable devices for early Alzheimer's and memory loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses wearable devices (like smart watches or fitness trackers) to gather information about people with mild memory loss or early-stage Alzheimer's disease. The goal is to find patterns or factors that may help identify these conditions earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 65 years or older.
- You must have mild memory loss (mild cognitive impairment) or early-stage Alzheimer's disease that has been confirmed by a doctor.
- You must be alert, able to understand and answer questions.
- You must be willing and able to use a wearable device for 30 days.
- You must not have severe physical, cognitive, hearing, or vision problems that would prevent you from using the device.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests a new way to check cognitive (thinking and memory) health using a simple headband that measures electrical signals on your scalp. It is looking for people 65 to 90 years old, with or without memory concerns, and a family member or friend who can also take part.
This study tests whether taking nicotinamide riboside (a form of niacin) affects early memory changes in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It also uses passive wearable or sensor data (“digital biomarkers”) to measure changes over time.
This study tests whether a digital support program can help people with early memory problems and their families. It takes place in Barcelona and involves using apps or tablets during regular visits.
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 is testing a digital tool to help people with mild to moderate dementia plan their care at home or in a care facility. It uses a small wearable sensor to track activity and health, aiming to improve quality of life and support for caregivers.
