Research Focus
Dr. Andrew Aschenbrenner's lab focuses on improving cognitive monitoring for patients undergoing treatment for Alzheimer's disease. The team is developing a smartphone-based system to detect cognitive changes that may occur due to treatment side effects, specifically amyloid-related imaging abnormalities. This project aims to make cognitive assessments more accessible and less burdensome for patients, ultimately enhancing treatment safety and effectiveness.
