Thinking and walking check for older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial uses a smartphone app to test how your thinking and walking change throughout the day. It is for older adults who do not exercise much and want to help researchers learn more about everyday brain health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older
- You speak English fluently
- You own a smartphone
- You can walk without help from another person (a cane or walker is okay)
- You do aerobic exercise (like brisk walking or jogging) 2 days a week or less
- You have no major health problems affecting your brain or thinking, such as dementia, Parkinson's, stroke, or a recent head injury

This study tests a smartphone app that helps older adults who are not very active become more active. You will use an app on your phone, wear a small device that tracks your movement, and answer some questions about your health.
This study looks at how your brain controls walking and navigation, especially in people with early memory concerns. It may help researchers understand and improve treatments for diseases like Alzheimer's.
This study looks at how mindful walking—combining walking with focused attention—affects thinking and memory in older adults at risk for dementia. Researchers will track your brain activity and daily movement to see if this approach helps protect brain health.
This study tests whether a structured walking exercise, combined with brain stimulation and brain scans, can improve or slow decline in thinking skills. It’s aimed at older adults who notice memory or confusion getting worse.
This trial tests if a gentle electrical stimulation device used at home can help older adults who feel their thinking is not as sharp as before and walk more slowly. You would use the device daily and be monitored by the research team.
This trial tests a program that combines digital health tools with exercise to help older adults stay active and independent. It may be a good fit if you are 65 or older and can walk or move around without major difficulty.
