What this trial studies

This research focuses on developing a mobile application designed to enhance physical and cognitive assessments for older adults, particularly those with Alzheimer's Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment. The app will utilize the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) to evaluate lower extremity function and mobility, providing real-time performance scoring and facilitating frequent assessments. By automating these evaluations, the project aims to improve monitoring of cognitive decline and enable timely interventions tailored to patients' needs. The study will involve consenting participants who will engage in video data collection on the Stanford campus.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this app could provide a more accessible and efficient way to monitor cognitive and physical health in older adults, leading to better management of Alzheimer's Disease.

How similar studies have gone: While the use of mobile applications for health assessments is growing, this specific approach utilizing the SPPB in the context of Alzheimer's Disease is relatively novel.
