The Brain Health Registry is a web-based, observational research study designed to capture large amounts of data that may enable researchers to more efficiently identify, assess, and longitudinally monitor the cognitive changes associated with the progression of neurodegenerative diseases and brain aging.
Enrolling in the Brain Health Registry study is a simple and meaningful way to actively contribute to the advancement of Alzheimer’s and other brain disease research. Study participants are heroes who play a critical role in helping us understand brain health and accelerate the discovery of effective treatments and preventions for many brain diseases and disorders.
If someone you know would be a good candidate for brain health studies, please tell them about the registry! Even completely healthy individuals are invited to enroll.
