Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study invites people aged 65+ who are already part of the SHUTi MIND research program to do simple blood tests at home to check for early signs of cognitive changes. The goal is to make it easier for people to access brain-health testing without going to a clinic.
