Summary
This study explores whether smartphone sensors can detect early changes in behavior that might signal cognitive decline. About 100 adults aged 65 and older living in assisted living facilities will have an app on their phones that tracks movement, typing patterns, and app usage for three months. Researchers will compare this data with cognitive tests taken before and after the monitoring period to see if phone data can predict worsening memory or thinking skills.
