Can AI help seniors with memory problems handle healthcare?
NCT ID NCT07485725
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study aims to develop and test digital assistant tools that help older adults, including those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), manage healthcare tasks like finding services, handling medical bills, and using Medicare.gov. Researchers will interview 600 participants to understand their challenges and then test the tools for usability and decision-making accuracy. The goal is to learn how technology can support cognitive health in aging, not to treat or cure any condition.
