Mild Cognitive Impairment Community Screening and Early Intervention Via Stem Cell Therapy and Wearable Brain Computer Interface Device.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of community-based early detection and targeted interventions, including stem cell therapy and wearable non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) devices, for Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) in adults aged 55 years and older residing in U.S. urban and suburban communities. Primary objectives include assessing improvements in MCI detection rates, cognitive outcomes, and progression delay compared to standard care.

Loneliness as Risk Factor for Dementia

This study aims to determine whether loneliness is associated with a higher incidence of dementia in older adults with a prior diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment after 12 months of follow-up.

Speech-Based Artificial Intelligence for Detection of Dementia in Danish Patients

The goal of this observational study is to develop and test an artificial intelligence (AI) model that can detect signs of dementia and related conditions from speech recordings. The main question is whether a speech-based AI model can correctly tell apart people with normal memory and thinking from those with cognitive impairment. The study will also explore whether the AI can distinguish dementia from depression, separate different dementia subtypes, and identify which people with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) are likely to develop dementia. Participants will complete short memory and speech tasks while being recorded. The AI model will analyze these recordings to learn patterns linked to different diagnoses. At the end of the study, its accuracy will be tested on new participants.

Enhancing Utility of Neuropsychological Evaluation for Earlier and Effective Diagnosis of Dementia in Parkinson's Disease

Dementia is observed in 80% of people living with advanced stage Parkinson's disease, however, there are inadequate opportunities for early and effective diagnosis of dementia in current clinical practice. This study aims to identify whether a new tool called PDCogniCare, can improve detection of dementia in people living with Parkinson's disease, and to explore what factors might influence its use in healthcare services.
