This research is testing whether doctors can accurately screen for memory and thinking problems using phone-based cognitive tests in patients with serious brain conditions like ALS, Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, and stroke-related cognitive decline. The study wants to see if these phone assessments are reliable, practical, and work well for Italian patients and clinical settings. Right now, these telephone screening methods haven't been thoroughly tested in Italy for these specific patient groups, even though they could help many more people get assessed without traveling to a clinic.
Many patients with brain disorders struggle to travel to hospitals or clinics for cognitive testing because of mobility problems, distance, or logistical challenges. Phone-based screening could remove these barriers and allow researchers to reach more patients and conduct larger, more accessible studies—but first, doctors need to confirm these telephone tests are accurate and practical for Italian patients with serious neurological conditions.

Participants will complete memory and thinking assessments over the telephone, similar to what they may have already done in person at a clinic. The study compares how well these phone-based tests work compared to the in-person assessments participants have already received. There is no medication involved—just cognitive testing by phone to help doctors understand whether telephone screening is a reliable way to monitor thinking and memory in people with brain disorders.
