Researchers want to understand whether changes in how you use your smartphone — like how often you use it, what apps you open, and how you interact with it — might be an early warning sign of memory problems or Alzheimer's disease. This is a pilot study with 90 participants: some with memory complaints, some with mild cognitive decline, and some with Alzheimer's. The study will track smartphone usage patterns for three months to see if there are meaningful differences between these groups.
Alzheimer's disease is often diagnosed too late, when significant damage has already occurred. Currently, doctors have no reliable way to predict who will develop Alzheimer's among people with early memory problems. If smartphone data can detect changes early, it might help catch the disease sooner — when treatment options may be more helpful.

If you join this study, you will allow researchers to collect data about your smartphone use — like how often you unlock it, how long you use it, and which apps you open — for three months. This happens in the background on your phone; you won't need to do anything special or visit the clinic repeatedly. The researchers will compare your smartphone patterns with those of other participants to see if there are differences that relate to memory decline.
