First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study is testing whether neighborhood pharmacies can help identify older adults with early memory problems and guide them to the right support. Over 1,000 participants aged 60 and older will take a digital memory test at their pharmacy. If the test shows concerns, the pharmacy staff will refer them to a doctor or support service. The goal is to see if this approach improves quality of life and makes it easier for people to get help sooner.
