Now Enrolling: The Brain Health Registry – Online

The purpose of the Brain Health Registry is to speed up the discovery of treatments for Alzheimer’s disease and other brain disorders. Joining the Brain Health Registry is easy. Participation takes less than three hours per year and can be completed entirely online.

If you choose to participate, you will be required to agree to a consent form. Once you give your consent, you will complete some questionnaires about your medical history, current health and lifestyle and take some online memory and thinking tests. You will be asked to come back every 6 months to answer more questions and take more tests. You may also have the opportunity to participate in additional research studies.

Brain Health Registry researchers are looking for people who are:

• 18 years and older
• Healthy volunteers, as well as those who have been diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment, Alzheimer’s disease, or dementia
