Tool for assessing memory in older adults

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study recruits participants aged 70 and older to assess their episodic memory using an ecological MAI test. Participants are divided into two groups: those with neurocognitive disorders and those without. The study involves neuropsychological assessments to determine the presence of neurodegenerative diseases. The assessment takes 30 minutes for routine care patients and 2.5 hours for those recruited from external institutions. The goal is to enable early detection of cognitive anomalies in older adults.
