Study Summary

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are exploring challenges encountered in daily activities by older adults (60+) experiencing cognitive challenges. If you or someone you know is experiencing difficulty with thinking, memory, or concentration or has mild cognitive impairment, we would like to learn from your experiences to develop solutions. The long-term goal is to utilize this knowledge to increase technological innovations in the area of aging and cognitive impairment to support functional independence and promote quality of life.

Study Description

After an initial phone screening to determine eligibility, participants will complete two main parts of the study via Zoom: 1) an in-depth interview and 2) a set of questionnaires. Each part is expected to take a maximum of 2 hours. Participants will have the option to complete both in one day or split them into two different sessions. During the interview, participants will discuss their experiences with everyday activities (e.g., healthcare appointments, financial management, travel). The second portion will include surveys, questionnaires, and tasks that fall into three general categories: 1) basic background information, 2) social and community engagement, and 3) cognitive measures.
