The CART study uses technology to assess activity in a home, with the eventual goal of detecting the onset of medical problems that may need a doctor's attention. By participating in this three-year long study, you will be helping researchers find new ways to keep older adults independently in their homes as they age.

Interested in participating? Participation in the CART research study includes the following:

  • Continuous measurement of activity patterns, by using motion sensors placed in each room of your home and devices like a digital watch, pillbox and scale. Learn more about CART's technology platform. 

  • Periodic memory testing
