Assessment of Changes in Autonomy Through Analysis of Smartphone Usage Data in Patients With Alzheimer's Disease
This study looks at whether changes in how people with Alzheimer's use their smartphones track with changes in daily independence. Participants install an app on an Android phone, and researchers compare the phone data with memory tests and questionnaires. Nothing is being given or treated. No phase is listed, since it is an observational-style study.
You may qualify if
- Age ≥ 60 years
- Patient consulting on routine care at a memory resource and research center for Alzheimer's disease defined by cognitive memory complaints from the patient or their family and friends, evidence of impaired verbal episodic memory storage in FCSRT defined by a sum of FR values less than 17/48 and a sum of CR values less than 40/48 compared to the patient's age and socio-cultural level and no criteria on other neuropsychological tests, progressive decline over at least 6 months affecting independence, and if a brain MRI, a lumbar puncture, and/or an 18FDG PET scan were performed as part of the patient's routine care, the results must be consistent with a diagnosis of MA.
