Clinical trials: Cognitive Aging
Mild Cognitive Impairment, Dementia
SCGs as a Proxy for Determining the Cognitive Status of Older Adults
Detecting memory problems early is crucial for treating conditions like Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), which often leads to dementia. Currently, doctors use tests in clinics to check for these issues.
