Simple memory test could spot dementia early
NCT ID NCT05668598
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new memory test called MAI in 60 adults aged 70 and older. Half have memory disorders like Alzheimer's, and half do not. The goal is to see if the test can tell the difference between the two groups and help doctors detect memory problems earlier.
