The RADAR-AD study uses remote monitoring technologies (such as Fitbit and smartphone Apps) to understand how people with and without dementia function in everyday life. The study started in 2020 and the researchers have recruited most of the participants they need, especially those with no cognitive problems or with Mild Cognitive Impairment. The research sites in the UK, Germany and Greece are now particularly looking for people with mild Alzheimer’s dementia to take part.
Participants would need to know what their amyloid status is (i.e. if they have amyloid plaques in their brains), which they would perhaps know if they have had a lumbar puncture or PET scan and to be able to participate in the study for eight weeks. During these eight weeks, participants will be asked to use some wearable devices and Apps. If you are interested in participating, please contact Sajini Kuruppu in the UK on sajini.1.kuruppu@kcl.ac.uk, Mara Gkioka in Greece on gkiokaki@yahoo.gr or Dora Toth in Germany on Dora.Toth@zi-mannheim.de
