Study Summary

This trial will test whether or not a new type of snack food, which starts as one texture and changes to another, can help improve the nutritional intake of adults with dementia.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for stable adults living at home with a medical diagnosis of dementia or possible dementia. They must be able to participate in the study protocol on their own or have a caregiver who can assist, and they need smartphone access. People who require full feeding assistance, are NPO (nothing by mouth), have multiple food allergies, or need strict renal, low-fat/no-salt diets cannot join.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if transitional-state snacks—foods that change texture—can improve nutrition in people with dementia. These savory snacks resemble regular foods and aim to enhance physical and cognitive health by improving dietary intake.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While specific side effects aren't listed, potential risks may include choking hazards or allergic reactions if participants react to snack ingredients. Safety will be monitored closely given the vulnerability of individuals with dementia.
