MILD COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT(MCI)

This study tested a new digital tool that scans patients' electronic health records to find older adults who might have undetected memory problems or be at risk for Alzheimer's disease. Researchers wanted to see if the tool was practical to use in primary care clinics and if send…

This study tested whether a new blood test could accurately diagnose Alzheimer's disease. Researchers compared blood samples from 200 people—some with Alzheimer's and some healthy—over two years. They measured two specific protein changes in the blood to see if they could reliabl…

This study tested whether a smartphone app that analyzes a person's voice and speech patterns could accurately identify early Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Researchers compared the app's results against a doctor's clinical diagnosis in 150 adults aged 50…

This study tested whether a new computer software called 'SCALE PET' helps doctors interpret brain scans more accurately when looking for signs of Alzheimer's disease. Four doctors reviewed old brain scan images from 190 people, sometimes using the software for help and sometimes…

This study tested whether playing gentle sounds during sleep could help improve long-term memory in people with early-stage memory loss (amnestic mild cognitive impairment). Thirty-seven participants aged 50-75 used a special device for two nights to see if the sounds helped them…

This study tested whether adding creative dance to a standard brain training program could better help older adults with mild memory and thinking problems. Twenty-six participants were randomly assigned to receive either the standard training or the training combined with dance f…

This study tested whether a herbal extract called Sabroxy™ could improve memory, focus, and overall thinking skills in older adults who reported mild problems with their cognition. About 70 participants, aged 60-85, took either Sabroxy™ or a placebo pill twice daily for 12 weeks.…

This study tested whether using virtual reality (VR) headsets to teach about dementia is more effective than standard education for older adults with mild memory concerns. Researchers in Taiwan randomly assigned 139 participants to either try a VR education program or receive reg…

This study aimed to understand how Alzheimer's disease develops by tracking changes in the brain over time. It followed over 1,100 older adults, some healthy, some with mild memory issues, and some with early Alzheimer's, for up to five years. Researchers used brain scans, memory…
