NCT ID NCT07598617
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is creating a new computer-based cognitive assessment to help detect Alzheimer's disease in its earliest stages. Researchers are working with memory nurses and older adults to design the test and a training course for nurses. 120 older adults with memory concerns will take the test, along with a brain scan and blood test, to see how well the assessment works.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a practical cognitive test that memory nurses can use to diagnose early Alzheimer's, speeding up access to treatment.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study focused on developing and testing the assessment, not on treatment. The test may not prove accurate enough for widespread use.
