Study summary

The study will recruit 100 participants aged 65+ residing in assisted living facilities. Eligible participants will undergo an initial cognitive assessment to document their baseline cognitive status using cognitive tests conducted either in their assisted living facility or at Soroka Medical Center. An app designed for research data collection (Aware-Light) will be installed on participants' mobile devices, collecting data only after participants provide consent. Over three months, the app will automatically gather sensor data, including movement data from the accelerometer, orientation data from the gravity sensor, rotation data from the gyroscope, proximity data for measuring distance from nearby objects, ambient light levels from the light sensor, and typing dynamics such as typing frequency and duration without recording actual text. The app will also track app usage, including activation, pauses, closures, background activity, notifications, and crashes, as well as air pressure through the barometer, phone capabilities through the telephony detector, and screen states such as on, locked, or off. It will log communication events such as calls and messages without recording personal details, monitor vehicle speed through the linear accelerometer, track rotation angles through the rotation detector, and identify significant movements like walking, cycling, or traveling. No typed data, such as passwords, will be collected. After one month, the research team will contact participants to ensure the app functions correctly. After three months, participants will undergo a second cognitive assessment, and the app will be uninstalled.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Dec 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jan 2027, 25 months after the start.

Of 505 non-industry observational studies under Cognitive Dysfunction, half reached primary completion within 49 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 22 and three quarters within 118. This study's planned 25 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 544 studies reached it within 47 months; a quarter within 21 and three quarters within 118.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 19, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
