ClinConnect Summary
The Speech-derived Digital Biomarkers Study is looking at a new application that analyzes voice characteristics to help diagnose mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). The main goal is to see if this app can accurately identify these conditions as well as a doctor can. This study is currently recruiting participants who are 50 years old or older and have been diagnosed with MCI or Alzheimer's by a physician. Participants should also be able to speak and read English fluently and have no medical conditions that might affect their voice.
If you or a loved one is interested in participating, you'll need to be able to commit to all parts of the study and provide informed consent. This means you understand what the study involves and agree to take part. However, individuals under 50, those with certain medical conditions like Parkinson's or cancer, or anyone with speech issues that might interfere with voice recording won't be eligible. If you participate, you can expect to contribute to important research that could improve how these conditions are diagnosed in the future.
