Can a Voice-Based app map healthy brain aging across 80 years?
NCT ID NCT07763392
First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study aims to collect cognitive performance data from 1,000 healthy adults aged 18 to 100 using a fully digital, voice-recognition-based testing platform. Participants complete a one-time, 30-45 minute online assessment covering memory, language, attention, and problem-solving. The goal is to establish age-, sex-, and education-adjusted reference values, which could help standardize future cognitive testing in clinical and research settings. This is an observational study, so no treatment or diagnosis is provided.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Voice-based cognitive testing platform
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a standardized, accessible way to interpret cognitive test results across diverse populations, potentially improving early detection of cognitive decline.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not capture all variations in cognitive performance, and the digital platform may not be equally reliable across all ages or education levels.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18 to 100 years at the time of enrollment. * Able to read, speak, and understand English sufficiently to complete all study procedures. * Able and willing to provide informed consent. * Adequate hearing, speech, and vision (with corrective devices if needed) to complete computerized voice-recognition cognitive testing. * Able to independently complete the digital cognitive assessment using a computer, tablet, or smartphone with internet access (or at a supervised study site if applicable). Exclusion Criteria: * Known Cognitive Impairment Self-reported or previously diagnosed cognitive impairment, memory disorder, mild cognitive impairment, or dementia. * Neurological Disease or Brain Injury History of a neurological condition or brain injury that, in the opinion of the investigator, may adversely affect cognitive performance. * Psychiatric Illness Current or untreated psychiatric illness that may significantly influence cognitive testing performance. * Substance Use or Cognitive-Impacting Medications Current use of substances or medications known to significantly impair cognition or recent substance use that could affect test validity. * Sensory or Communication Limitations Inadequate English proficiency or speech, hearing, or visual impairments that would prevent valid completion of the digital cognitive assessment. * Functional or Medical Conditions Affecting Cognition Medical conditions or functional impairments that, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with accurate assessment of normal cognitive performance. * Investigator Discretion Any other condition or circumstance that, in the judgment of the Principal Investigator, would compromise participant safety, study compliance, or the validity of the normative dataset.
