NCT ID NCT05785910
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether a set of memory and thinking tests, usually done in person, can be given remotely over a video call. Researchers will compare results from in-person and remote versions to see if they match. If it works, it could make dementia assessments easier for people who have trouble traveling to a clinic.
