NCT07200739 · NOT YET RECRUITING
Speech-Based Artificial Intelligence for Detection of Dementia in Danish Patients (DetectAI)
This observational study tests whether an AI tool can analyze recorded speech to help spot which people with memory complaints need a specialist memory clinic evaluation. Participants describe pictures aloud and take standard memory tests. Nothing is given or treated. No phase applies, since this is a diagnostic tool study in Denmark, not a drug trial.
