NCT ID NCT07526480
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a program called Improving Dementia Care (IDC) to help primary care doctors identify dementia in patients who have memory concerns but no prior diagnosis. About 80 adults with mild cognitive issues will take part. The goal is to see if the program leads to more dementia diagnoses and appropriate follow-up care compared to usual practice.
