Wearable sensor for early detection of memory decline
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a wearable sensor device that tracks walking and thinking to help detect and monitor early memory decline. Participation involves wearing the sensor during daily activities and attending clinic visits, which may help identify changes in cognitive function over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 55 years of age or older.
- You must be able to walk about 40 feet, with or without a cane or walker.
- You may have mild cognitive impairment, early dementia, or no memory concerns at all.
- You must not be bedbound or have major mobility issues.
- You must not have serious unstable medical or psychiatric conditions, or be receiving active cancer treatment.
- You must not have severe uncorrected hearing or vision problems.

This study looks at how walking patterns change in people with mild memory problems compared to healthy older adults. It may help find early signs of dementia using a simple walking test.
This study tests if a special insole and ankle sensor can detect early signs of memory loss or dementia by tracking how you walk. If you can walk without a cane or walker and are 55 or older, you may be able to join.
This trial uses stem cell therapy and a wearable headband that reads your brain waves to help detect and treat early memory problems. It is for older adults who may have mild forgetfulness but no dementia diagnosis, and involves both screening and a 3-year follow-up.
This study uses remote sensors (like motion detectors) to see how older adults with mild memory or thinking problems go about their daily lives. It may help researchers learn how to better support people with early dementia.
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.
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.
