NCT04700540Completed
A Mobile Informatics Solution to Aid in Memory
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 26 Mar 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The researchers propose to develop an informatics system to assist people with memory impairment. Persons with Memory Concern (PWMC) recognize the faces they see daily, such as a spouse or caregiver, but they may confuse visiting friends and grandchildren or they may not match names with faces well. The inability to remember names or relationships contributes to isolation and deeply affects their social lives. The proposed solution is a Smartwatch Reminder (SR) system to conspicuously provide this information to the PWMC when needed. The system will be evaluated on the target persons with memory concern population to measure engagement and improvements in social interactions and quality of life.

Who the study is looking for
- English speaking
- a physician diagnosis of early-stage Alzheimer's disease or mild-to-moderate cognitive impairment
- no history of serious mental illness (i.e., any major psychiatric disorder)
- English speaking
- 21 years of age or over

- plans to remain in the area for at least 6 months in order to reduce loss to follow-up
- indicates a willingness to use the smartwatch system
