NCT ID NCT06850870
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a rideshare service where drivers are specially trained to assist older adults, including those with Alzheimer's or memory problems. The drivers help riders from door to door, even handing them off to clinic staff. The goal is to see if this service reduces missed medical appointments compared to standard curb-to-curb rideshare. About 120 people aged 60 and older in the San Francisco Bay Area will take part.

What this could lead to
If successful, this service could help older adults with memory problems get to more medical appointments, potentially improving their health and quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-phase pilot study, so results may not apply to everyone. The service may not reduce missed appointments or improve well-being as hoped.
