Web-based Application to Test for Long-term Cognitive Deficits in BioCog Patients
This study is testing a web-based app to see if it can help track long-term thinking and memory problems in people who were part of a previous study, 7 to 10 years later.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to conduct a long-term cognitive follow-up of participants from the BioCog cohort, assessing cognitive deficits 7 to 10 years after their initial inclusion. The study involves medical telephone and video visits, alongside cognitive tests administered through web applications and questionnaires to evaluate acceptance and usability in a home setting. Data will be analyzed in collaboration with multiple universities, focusing on changes in cognitive performance and self-care functionality over time, using established diagnostic criteria and cognitive assessment tools.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include former participants of the BioCog cohort who have undergone baseline cognitive testing and can be contacted for follow-up.
Not a fit: Patients who are not part of the BioCog cohort or those who cannot be contacted for follow-up will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the long-term cognitive health of patients, potentially guiding future interventions and support strategies.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success in assessing cognitive deficits using similar web-based approaches, indicating a promising avenue for long-term cognitive evaluation.
