Brief description of study

Why is this study being done?

The Collaborative for Aging Research and Engagement (CARE) is a project that focuses on Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) education and resource sharing through community engagement and technology. As a result of CARE's efforts, we now have the Lola app- a new, free ADRD education app that teaches users about Alzheimer's and dementia, shares community resources, and up-to-date news about dementia and healthy aging. 

The study is funded by the National Institute on Aging at the National Institutes of Health.

We are looking for eligible participants (ages 45 and older) to use the Lola app over the course of 4-weeks and give us their feedback. All study tasks can be completed entirely from home (no in-person visits required).

During the 4-week pilot study, participants will:

  • Review informed consent with a CARE Team member over the phone
  • Complete a pre-survey and questionnaire
  • Download the Lola app on their Android or iPhone smartphone
  • Engage with the Lola app for 4-weeks
