What this research studies
If you join, you would give consent and share your medical history and daily habits, and you would take yearly memory and neurological tests. You may have in-person clinic visits, phone or video visits, or do short at-home surveys and wear a smartphone or wearable to measure daily activity. The team will collect fasting blood samples, arrange MRI scans if needed, and train you to use remote monitoring tools. Clinicians meet in consensus to determine diagnoses such as mild cognitive impairment or dementia and may ask about brain donation for research after death.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal participants are older adults in the community who can do cognitive testing, give blood samples, and use phone or wearable devices for remote monitoring.
Not a fit: People seeking an immediate treatment for symptoms or those who cannot complete testing, blood draws, or remote-device tasks are unlikely to get direct health benefits from participation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could help detect memory decline earlier and guide ways to prevent or slow dementia for future patients.
How similar studies have performed: Long-running cohort efforts (for example ADNI and other aging studies) have successfully linked clinical tests and biomarkers to dementia risk, so this approach builds on established methods.
