NCT ID NCT06090578
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a simple tablet-based assessment can help primary care doctors spot early signs of cognitive impairment or dementia in older adults. The tool, called TabCAT, is easy to use and automatically scores results. Researchers will compare detection rates across 26 Kaiser clinics in Southern California, involving up to 180,000 patients aged 65 and older.
