AlzPrevent

AlzPrevent helps researchers analyze your data for their clinical trials on Alzheimer’s disease.

This may help you understand the status of your cognitive functions. More generally, patients with Alzheimer’s disease may ultimately benefit from this research, because AlzPrevent and its research study will create an unprecedented, crowd-sourced database of health behaviors and glucose values from people like you. Studying all this real-world data will help researchers better understand the relationships between cognitive/emotional function, diet, exercise, and glucose control in real-world people. (Traditionally, these studies are done by asking people to fill out very long paper questionnaires every few years.) It will also help explore how the iPhone can enable new kinds of clinical research.

By combining an application and a research study, AlzPrevent will help explore how the iPhone can enable new kinds of clinical research. This study may also help researchers better understand what strategies in iPhone apps are well received among users, encourage more durable use of the app, and are most effective in reinforcing healthy behaviors.
