Key information made simple

This study is looking at determine whether task-evoked pupil response profiles sensitively quantify cognitive impairment, differ between cohorts, and track change over time for people with Alzheimer s Disease, depression, Mild Cognitive Impairment, or Dementia. Participants mainly provide questionnaire, assessment, or follow-up information rather than receiving a new study treatment. Taking part may give some people access to a digital support tool with regular follow-up, but direct benefit is not guaranteed.

What to expect

Your next step

The official record suggests in-person participation through a lab, with sites including Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry in München. Participation appears to center on assessments, scans, or samples rather than trying a new treatment. The main fit is usually being able to understand the study and consent and matching the main diagnosis, while common reasons not to take part include safety concerns that need urgent care first and active substance or alcohol problems that could affect the results. The official record does not list a trial phase, which usually means the study is focused on observation rather than testing a staged treatment.
