Participants wanted for research into a digital memory assessment tool 

Are you a person diagnosed with memory problems who would like to get involved in a short dementia research study? 

Researchers want to develop a digital assessment tool that could help to reduce waiting times in Memory Clinics. They are looking for volunteers with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or early Alzheimer’s disease who have access to a computer or iPad and who would like to participate in their study. 

CognoSpeak, a virtual computerised doctor, will ask participants 14 questions about their memory followed by a request to complete 3 questionnaires. After this, participants will be sent a link to a short cognitive assessment.  

If you are interested in participating, please contact anya.soonderpershad@nbt.nhs.uk
