Background: The recruitment of individuals for Alzheimer's disease (AD) genetic studies particularly those with low socioeconomic status, and living in rural areas remains a challenge in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), due to stigma-related cultural beliefs that hinder their participation. The Recruitment and Retention of Alzheimer's Disease Diversity Genetic Cohorts in the ADSP (READD - ADSP) project is a case-control genetic epidemiological study involving individuals who are living with AD and disease - free healthy control individuals. The aim is to build a resource that greatly expands Alzheimer's disease genetic studies in the currently underrepresented African ancestry populations and Hispanic/Latinx individuals.

Background: Early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD) can improve prognosis, given new anti-amyloid therapies. Both positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging biomarkers are currently used (1). 48F-Fluorodeoxyglucose-PET (FDG-PET) can detect neurodegeneration-related hypometabolism but is costly and not easily accessible (2).

Background: Lexical retrieval therapy (LRT) has been proven to be an effective speech therapy for individuals with semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA) and semantic cue plays an important ingredient in LRT. In recent findings, differential performance in using and choosing noun-classifiers amongst Chinese individuals with the three subtypes of PPA were observed. The current study aims to explore the treatment effect of employing noun-classifier as a semantic cue of LRT for Cantonese-speaking svPPA.

Background: Promising elements of assistive technologies are available to help people with cognitive impairment in their daily lives. However, there has been limited research on how smartwatches can directly interact with persons who have cognitive impairments. We looked at the factors that affect the effectiveness of interventions provided via a smartwatch.
