| Title | Mild Cognitive Impairment Clinic |
| Description | We have established a clinical service for patients who have mild memory symptoms. The aim of this is to provide early accurate diagnosis, prognostic information and research opportunities - notably the CUBOID study when appropriate. We are using standard clinical tests - neuropsychology, blood tests, neuroimaging and CSF biomarkers - to stratify patients at an earlier stage of disease when both the patient and GP request it. |
| Type Of Material | Model of mechanisms or symptoms - human |
| Year Produced | 2017 |
| Provided To Others? | No |
| Impact | We are planning to evaluate this new service after 1 year. Important outcomes will be patient experience and research recruitment rates. |

| Results and Impact | A PPI event was run by the ReMemBr group. The purpose was to raise awareness of the CUBOId project and collect feedback on how we should proceed with recruitment and overcome any foreseeable challenges. The event was a success, generating positive discussion. Participants felt reassured that the home sensor technology is not intrusive. Ideas were also generated on how we might reassure potential participants, such as showing them photographs of what the equipment looks like when it has been installed in people's homes. We intend to obtain permission to use photographs of people's homes that are currently involved in the related SPHERE 100 Homes project. |
