Digital Coaching to Prevent Alzheimer's in APOE4 Carriers
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a smartphone app with personalized lifestyle coaching can help people at genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease stay mentally sharp. You'll receive daily tips on exercise, sleep, diet, and brain health, and the researchers will track your progress through simple at-home blood tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 60–80 and a current 23andMe Research participant with the APOE4 genetic variant (linked to higher Alzheimer's risk)
- You have an iPhone or Android smartphone and can download study apps
- You live in the United States and can receive mail
- You can do a self-collected saliva test at the start and finger-prick blood tests three times during the study
- You speak English and are willing to engage with daily coaching messages on your phone

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.
This trial tests a personalized lifestyle program for people who may be at higher risk for memory problems. It uses a smartphone app to help with diet, exercise, brain training, sleep, stress, and social connection to see if these changes can keep your memory sharp.
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 research study tests whether a program of healthy eating, exercise, and other lifestyle changes can lower your risk for dementia. It is designed for people aged 65–75 with a family history of dementia who want to take steps to keep their brain healthy.
This study tests if a special diet can help support brain health and longevity in people with a gene linked to higher risk for Alzheimer's. It may be a good fit if you are between 45 and 65, carry the APOE e4 gene variation, and have no major medical or dietary restrictions.
This study invites people age 50+ who do not have dementia to do ongoing thinking tests online. If an online risk screen suggests you may be at higher risk, you may be referred for in-person body tests (biomarker assessment).
