Eye camera could spot Alzheimer's and Parkinson's early
NCT ID NCT07545473
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a non-invasive eye camera that takes pictures of the retina using different colors of light. Researchers want to see if these images can help detect signs of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other neurodegenerative diseases. About 930 adults over age 30 with or without these conditions will participate. The goal is to see if the camera can accurately tell apart different types of dementia and healthy brains.
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 provide a simple, non-invasive eye test to help diagnose Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other brain diseases earlier.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage observational study, not a treatment trial. The technology may not be accurate enough to distinguish between different diseases, and results may not apply to all populations.
