If you are 60 years of age or older and are experiencing memory problems as a result of:

  • Stroke
  • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
  • Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)

Weill Cornell Medicine’s Center on Aging and Behavioral Research is designing technology to support the memory needs of older adults experiencing memory problems and needs your input. 

To do this, they need to learn more about the everyday activities you might be having trouble with, the technologies you may use to help with these activities, and how you think these technologies might be improved. Your input will be extremely valuable in helping them design new technologies for memory issues. Also, if you are living with someone with memory issues you both can participate! 

Participation in this research study involves a series of phone interviews and you will be compensated financially. If you are interested in participating or have any questions, please contact them at: AgingBehavioralRsrch@med.cornell.edu or 646-962-7141.
