We have a new ongoing research study in collaboration with UC Los Angeles that is aimed to use smartphones to detect risk for developing a disease of the brain later in life (such as Alzheimer’s disease or dementia) in family caregivers. Participants are asked to use their smartphone device (iPhones) for about 2 months while using a smartphone keyboard and providing weekly speech samples. Compensation is up to $100.
Some inclusion criteria include:
- Being the primary caregiver of a family member or significant other living with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia
- Owner of an iPhone device
- Not a paid, professional caregiver
- Located in the UCLA area, UCSD area or in between
If you are interested in participating, please feel free to call UCLA’s study coordinator at (310) 351-2349, call or text UCSD’s coordinator at (619) 736-1528 or email us at SleepResearch@sonnet.ucla.edu.
