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.
