Memory screening by video before surgery
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether doing a quick memory and thinking check over video call is as reliable as doing it in person. You would take part before your scheduled surgery to help improve how cognitive health is assessed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 65.
- You can understand and speak English well enough for a conversation.
- You have an upcoming appointment with an anesthesiologist before your surgery.
- Your surgery is scheduled at Vancouver General Hospital or UBC Hospital.

This study looks at how well older adults think and remember before and after surgery to see if any changes are linked to complications after surgery. It may help doctors understand and reduce post-surgery confusion or memory problems.
This study uses a short, self-answered thinking test before elective heart surgery to help predict who may develop confusion afterward. The goal is to improve early identification and care planning for patients at higher risk.
This study looks at a redesigned surgical care plan to better support older adults who may have memory or thinking changes after major planned surgery. If you qualify, you would be assessed before surgery and followed after to see whether this approach helps.
This study tests if a phone-based cognitive screening can effectively assess thinking and memory. It may help people who can't easily visit a clinic.
This study looks at how surgery and anesthesia affect memory and thinking in older adults who already have mild memory problems. It compares patients having elective non-cardiac surgery with a similar group who are not having surgery, to see if the surgery itself causes more confusion or memory decline.
This study uses a special brain-wave monitor during your surgery to see if it can predict confusion or memory problems afterward. It may help you and your doctors better understand your recovery.
