We are currently seeking participants for several ongoing studies. Read below for more details.

  • Memory Support Research Study: The University of Texas Dell Medical School, Baylor University, and Baylor Scott & White (Temple) are currently enrolling eligible participants for a research study aimed at determining how best to help with day-to-day memory in people who are experiencing memory problems. We are specifically wanting to compare if using a paper-based or a smartphone-based calendar can help with daily memory tasks. Eligible participants will have an opportunity to learn about a memory strategy tool that may help with day-to-day tasks
