Early detection of memory problems (such as seen in Alzheimer's Disease) in older adults is essential for planning strategies to improve patients' everyday function and quality of life. While patients and family members often talk to clinicians, our proposed research system is meant to capture changes in memory before they are identified by clinicians.
