Official title: Optimization of an at-home continuous multi-domain monitoring and assessment system to improve Alzheimer's and related disorders clinicaltrials
Funded at Life Analytics, INC. · NIH-11314283 · Data updated 2026-11-12
A home-based monitoring system is being tested to better track changes in people aged 65 and older who have Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates are adults aged 65+ with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias who can participate in at-home monitoring.
✕Less likely to help
Patients without access to home technology or those unable to participate in at-home monitoring may receive fewer direct benefits.
What this research studies
This project uses a platform called Life Analytics Monitoring Platform (LAMP) to collect frequent, real-world data from participants at home. It combines hardware and software to observe everyday function and behavior without relying solely on infrequent clinic visits or self-reports. The study aims to provide continuous, objective information that could guide decisions in Alzheimer’s and related dementia trials and care. Participants will contribute data from their daily environments to help researchers understand disease progression more accurately.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this at-home monitoring could lead to more precise tracking of dementia progression and faster, data-driven decisions in trials and care.
How similar studies have gone: Previous work with high-frequency home monitoring has shown promise in observing real-world disease progression, but ongoing validation is needed.
