Testing new tools for early detection of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease
Validation of the Mayo Test Drive Screening Battery Composite and Stricker Learning Span for Early Detection and Monitoring of Cognitive Decline in Preclinical and Prodromal Alzheimer’s Disease
This study is creating easy-to-use brain tests that you can take on your own devices to help spot early signs of memory problems related to Alzheimer's, so you can get the support you need sooner.

What this research studies
This research focuses on developing and validating cognitive assessment tools that can be easily accessed and used by patients to detect early signs of cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease. The Mayo Test Drive platform allows for self-administration of cognitive tests on various devices, making it convenient for patients to participate. By identifying cognitive impairment early, the research aims to enable timely interventions that could slow down the progression of the disease. The study will also explore the integration of these cognitive assessments with biological markers to enhance diagnostic accuracy.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include individuals showing early signs of cognitive decline or those at risk for Alzheimer's disease.
Not a fit: Patients with advanced Alzheimer's disease or those who do not exhibit any cognitive impairment may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to earlier detection and intervention for patients at risk of Alzheimer's disease, potentially improving their quality of life.
How similar studies have performed: Other research has shown promise in using digital cognitive assessments for early detection of cognitive decline, indicating that this approach may be effective.
