Dcubed Trial Summary

This trial will test whether a PDM or QDRS can help reduce the rate of new ADRD diagnosis in primary care practices.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 65 or older who have visited a primary care practice in the past year, can consent to participate, and communicate in English or Spanish. They must have electronic health records from at least the last three years. Those with prior dementia diagnoses, certain medication histories, or serious mental illnesses are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing a Passive Digital Marker (PDM) and Quick Dementia Rating System (QDRS), alone and combined, to see if they help detect Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) more effectively during routine primary care visits.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves digital screening tools rather than medications, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be privacy concerns related to data collection or potential stress due to monitoring.

Dcubed Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Passive Digital Marker (PDM)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Passive Digital Marker (PDM): Electronic Health Record Data from those clinics randomized to PDM will be run through the PDM, a machine learning algorithm which can predict ADRD one year and three years prior to its onset.
Group II: Annual Well Visit or any other visit to Primary Care DoctorActive Control1 Intervention
Annual Well Visit or any other visit to Primary Care Doctor: This is the usual care arm. Electronic Health Record Data for patients from the clinics randomized to usual care will be collected for comparison with the other 2 arms. Patients from these primary care clinics must have had a visit to their doctor either as an annual well visit (AWV) or any other type of visit. These clinics will not have to do anything for the study but run their business as usual without altering anything.
Group III: Passive Digital Marker (PDM) + Quick Dementia Rating Scale (QDRS)Active Control1 Intervention
Patients in the primary care clinics randomized to PDM+QDRS will have Electronic Health Record Data of their patients run through the PDM, a machine learning algorithm which can predict ADRD one year and three years prior to its onset. In addition, patients from these clinics will have their patients complete the QDRS, a validated patient reported outcome (PRO) tool. This combined approach will assess the value of early detection of ADRD and if the annual well visit can overcome the barriers related to early detection of ADRD.
