How It Works
Discover How The Brain Health Registry Makes a Difference For The Future Of Your Family
Your representation is important to the Brain Health Registry for the discovery of treatments for Alzheimer's and other brain disorders.
If you are 18 years or over, you can help the Brain Health Registry speed up the discovery of treatments for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, depression, PTSD, and other brain disorders. It takes just a few minutes to get started. For most people, participation takes less than three hours per year. The steps are easy to follow:
Some people will choose to take more steps!
Some people will have the opportunity to do more. If you’re one of the few asked, you decide if you want to move forward. The choice is yours.
Study Partner
A study partner is someone who knows a participant well, interacts with the participant regularly, and can give information about the participant’s health, lifestyle, and how they function on a day-to-day basis. A study partner’s report often provides a more detailed, accurate description of a participant’s brain health. In fact, neuroscience researchers often reach out to a research study participant’s study partner to get a better overall picture of the participant’s brain health.
The study partner’s participation in the Brain Health Registry is crucial for us to understand brain health and help decide who is a good match to take part in current and upcoming research studies. Having the pair of you report information in the Brain Health Registry will illuminate a better, more complete snapshot of brain health. Plus, we’re also interested in learning about the study partner’s own brain health.
Clinical Trials
Some participants will be given the additional opportunity to participate in clinical trials for new diagnostic tools or potential treatments for brain disorders like Alzheimer’s, PTSD, sleep challenges or depression.
Genetic Screen
Some people will be asked to provide saliva samples. This allows us to do a genetic screen. Knowing someone’s genetic makeup can help us understand or predict changes in how the person’s brain may be working.
Blood Samples
Some will be asked to provide blood samples. This helps us understand a great deal about a participant’s current health, and can explain, or predict, changes in how an individual’s brain may be working.
Medical Records
Check the box that gives our scientific team access to your medical records. As with all things connected to The Brain Health Registry, we protect your privacy.
Potentially More
As medical science advances, we will look for more opportunities to engage.
In all cases, we respect your privacy every step of the way. The information you share and the data we collect from the online tests will be kept confidential.
