ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at older adults who are experiencing early signs of memory problems, specifically those diagnosed with either subjective cognitive decline (SCD) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The goal is to learn more about how these conditions develop over time, especially in individuals from under-resourced communities. Participants will be recruited through a Tele-Cog clinic, which means they can take part in the study from home using virtual visits.

To be eligible, you need to be at least 50 years old, have concerns about your memory or thinking skills, and be able to understand and speak English. It's also important that you can give permission to join the study and have someone who can help share information about your daily activities and memory. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, so if you or someone you know is interested, keep an eye out for updates. Participants will help researchers gather important information that could lead to better understanding and support for those facing cognitive challenges.
