Friendly AI companion to help prevent memory decline in older adults living alone
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a conversational AI on a tablet can help socially isolated older adults stay mentally active and prevent early memory loss. If you qualify, you would use the AI at home and participate in check-ins to see if it helps.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a personalized lifestyle program to help keep your memory sharp if you're at higher risk of thinking and memory problems. It involves coaching in areas like diet, exercise, and relaxation to see if it can slow or prevent age-related memory decline.
This study tests a mobile app that helps caregivers keep track of care and encourage social engagement for older adults with mild-to-moderate memory problems. If you join, you may be assigned to use the app or be in a comparison group to see how it works.
This trial tests a therapy program delivered by text or voice message on your smartphone. It's designed to help people with mild memory problems manage mood or behavior changes.
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help detect dementia by analyzing the way people speak. If you have mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease, or if you are a healthy volunteer, your speech samples may teach the AI to recognize early signs of memory or thinking problems.
