Your phone could detect Alzheimer's before you know it
NCT ID NCT05153941
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether smartphones and wearable devices can detect early signs of Alzheimer's disease better than traditional questionnaires. Researchers will follow 3,500 people with and without memory problems to see if digital tools can spot subtle changes in daily activities. The goal is to make diagnosis easier and earlier, potentially before symptoms are obvious.
