The Alzheimer Society Research Portal connects researchers with Canadians looking to participate in research studies. On this website, find active studies that you can participate in to help advance research on dementia.
This study investigates whether digital activity data collected from wearable and mobile devices can be used to understand changes in cognitive functioning associated with aging and neurological conditions. Participants’ daily movement patterns and activity behaviors will be monitored using advanced tracking technology that collects detailed spatial and temporal data. Researchers will analyze these patterns using computational methods to identify digital markers associated with cognitive functioning.
You are eligible to participate if you are 60 years or older, have a confirmed diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, remain relatively independent in your day-to-day life, are able and willing to wear digital activity tracking technology to monitor daily activity patterns, and are able to provide informed consent and participate in study procedures. You are also eligible to participate if you are a partner/caregiver as a healthy control.
