Improving at-home monitoring for Alzheimer's and related disorders
Optimization of an at-home continuous multi-domain monitoring and assessment system to improve Alzheimer's and related disorders clinical trials
This study is testing a new at-home system that helps keep track of how Alzheimer's and related dementias are affecting daily life, especially for older African American and Latinx individuals, to improve understanding and treatment of these conditions.

What this research studies
This research focuses on developing an at-home continuous monitoring system to better track the symptoms and progression of Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias. The Life Analytics Monitoring Platform (LAMP) aims to provide more frequent and accurate data collection from patients, particularly those in underserved communities such as aging African American and Latinx populations. By utilizing technology to monitor patients' daily lives, the research seeks to enhance the quality of data collected during clinical trials, ultimately leading to better understanding and treatment of these conditions.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include older adults diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease or related dementias, particularly those from underserved communities.
Not a fit: Patients with early-stage cognitive impairment or those not diagnosed with Alzheimer's or related dementias may not receive benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved monitoring and management of Alzheimer's and related disorders, enhancing patient care and treatment outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in using technology for remote patient monitoring, indicating a promising approach for this novel application in Alzheimer's care.
