Description
Ambar Perez-Lao and co-authors describe how a Florida project recruits healthy older adults to norm brain tests given by video call. Their 2025 report covers the FLOAT project, which needs reference scores before remote testing can spread. A learning algorithm mines a state health database for likely volunteers.
The tool ranks adults over fifty by dementia risk, and the lowest-risk are invited. About seven thousand candidates surfaced, aged fifty-one to one hundred four. Email waves reached the sixty-to-seventy-nine band first. Of five thousand eligible people, most never answered, fifty-five declined, and one hundred seven agreed. Thirty are enrolled so far. The authors say smart screening can build norm samples efficiently.
