Refer‐MCI: Enriching referrals of patients to memory clinics for mild cognitive impairment (MCI)
The goal of Refer-MCI is to investigate the potential of digital remote home-based assessment for improving efficient and timely referral of patients who are likely to have MCI from office-based specialized care to memory clinics. Refer-MCI will assess whether remote digital self-assessment of patients with memory complaints at office-based specialist care can enrich referrals to memory clinics with MCI. Refer-MCI will identify barriers for implementing tools for efficient and timely referral of these patients. Established memory clinic-based testing and blood-based biomarkers will be used as reference standard to estimate the proportion of MCI due AD among the referred patients.
