NCT ID NCT07286812
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test if combining digital technology (analyzing how people walk, their facial expressions, and speech) with blood markers can better screen for early Alzheimer's disease in community adults aged 50 and older. The goal is to create a more efficient screening method than traditional questionnaires. Researchers will follow 1,000 participants over time to see if these tools can accurately identify those with early cognitive problems.
