Predicting Alzheimer's Risk Before Memory Loss Occurs
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study identifies people at high risk for Alzheimer's disease before symptoms develop, using genetics and digital tools to track brain health over time. If you qualify, you'll help researchers understand who will develop cognitive decline and potentially enable earlier interventions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 55 or older
- Carrier of at least one APOE ε4 allele (a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's), confirmed by prior testing
- Have existing genetic data (whole-genome sequencing or genotyping array) available to share with the study
- Currently have normal or very mild cognitive impairment (no memory problems or only very slight changes)
- Willing to wear digital devices (smartwatch, smartphone app) and complete memory tests regularly
- Willing to share your genetic data and medical records with the research team

This study tests a digital lifestyle coaching program designed to help prevent Alzheimer's disease in people who carry the APOE4 genetic variant, which increases risk. Over one year, you'll get personalized health coaching through apps and possibly a smart ring to track your progress.
This study uses smartphone tools to track early signs of Alzheimer's by analyzing risk factors. It is for people with mild cognitive issues (MCI) or subjective cognitive decline (SCD) who do not have dementia.
This study follows older adults with normal memory, mild memory problems, or dementia over a year to see if brain scans and blood tests can predict who will get worse. It may help find early warning signs of Alzheimer's and other dementias.
This study evaluates a new computer-based test to detect early memory and thinking changes before they progress to dementia. Researchers are looking for adults 65+ who've noticed subtle cognitive changes in the last 5 years to help refine and test this assessment tool.
This trial studies genes to better understand why some people develop dementia and memory problems earlier in life. It may help researchers find clearer causes and improve future testing and treatments for families affected by dementia.
This study looks at genes that may be linked to Alzheimer's disease by comparing people with the condition to healthy older adults. It aims to help find better ways to diagnose or treat the disease in the future.
