NCT07146581 · NOT YET RECRUITING
Technology-Based Intervention Pilot Testing
This study is building and testing a new tool called SIRENS — a screening method to help primary care doctors detect neglect in older adults with dementia, paired with a support program delivered in person and via an Android app. This is a feasibility and usability phase, not yet a full clinical trial, so the researchers are still refining how the tool works before testing it more broadly.
