What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study is testing a smartphone app that records and analyzes speech to help diagnose and monitor neurodegenerative conditions like dementia, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and motor neuron disease. Researchers will compare speech patterns from 150 people with these conditions to those without. The goal is to see if everyday phone technology can provide useful health information for patients and doctors.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
digital smartphone app for speech recording and analysis
What this could lead to
If successful, this app could provide a simple, non-invasive way to help diagnose and track neurodegenerative diseases using everyday smartphone technology.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study with 150 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The app is not a treatment and may not be accurate enough for clinical use yet.
