An online platform to improve aging research participation
The Brain Health Registry for facilitating interdisciplinary aging research
['FUNDING_OTHER'] · UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO · NIH-10828327
This study is working to make an online platform better for older adults who want to help researchers learn more about aging and Alzheimer's disease by sharing their health and lifestyle information through surveys and tests.

What this research studies
This research aims to enhance an existing online platform called the Brain Health Registry, which currently has over 62,000 participants. The project focuses on optimizing and automating the recruitment, screening, and monitoring of older adults to facilitate interdisciplinary research on aging and Alzheimer's disease. By improving the platform's capabilities, the research will make it easier for clinical researchers to access valuable data and engage older adults in studies and clinical trials. Participants will provide cognitive, health, and lifestyle information through surveys and tests, contributing to a better understanding of aging.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are older adults, particularly those who may be at risk for or are experiencing symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
Not a fit: Patients who are younger than 60 or those who do not have any interest in participating in research related to aging or Alzheimer's disease may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved recruitment and engagement of older adults in studies that advance our understanding and treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other age-related conditions.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has successfully utilized online platforms for participant recruitment and data collection in aging studies, indicating that this approach has potential for success.
