Summary

This study looks at whether people with memory problems will wear and use digital devices like smartwatches, sleep headbands, and smartphone apps to collect health data. Researchers will combine this data with routine clinic information to build machine learning models that might one day predict dementia risk long before symptoms appear. About 135 participants from an Essex memory clinic, along with their partners or carers, are taking part.
