Eligibility Requirements

For the study to be successful, it’s important we have the participation of people from all walks of life and backgrounds – this means people of different ages, genders, races, ethnicities, and

education levels. That’s because every brain is different, and each person’s contributions make

the study’s findings that much more meaningful.

To be eligible, you must:

Be 50 to 86 years of age
Have and use an iPhone 8 (released in fall 2017) or later
Have access to Wi-Fi or hardwired internet
Have an active email address
Have a compatible computer (Mac or Windows) or iPad
Live in the United States
Be willing to wear an Apple Watch, which will be provided to you, on a daily basis

About the Study:

Intuition is a virtual research study sponsored by Biogen, in collaboration with Apple, for participants between the ages of 60 and 86. By joining us, you can help researchers investigate the role an Apple Watch and iPhone could play in:

Measuring changes in thinking and memory in adults
Studying longer-term changes in brain health – some of which may occur normally as we age, while others could be an early indicator of certain forms of dementia, such as Alzheimer’s disease

This study, therefore, may be an important step toward better understanding overall brain health.

Purpose:

By joining us, you can help researchers investigate the role an Apple Watch and iPhone could play in measuring changes in thinking and memory in adults, as well as studying longer-term changes in brain health. Some of these changes in brain health may occur normally as we age, while others could be an early indicator of certain forms of dementia, such as Alzheimer’s disease. This study, therefore, may be an important step toward better understanding overall brain health.

What is Involved:

Participation in the study will last up to 2 years.

Participating in the study is entirely virtual and has been designed to fit in alongside your daily activities. On average, we are asking for you

to contribute just over an hour a month of your time to help with brain health research. You can

earn the ability to keep the Apple Watch, and up to an additional $260 in gift cards or charitable

donations, in the process.

There are three main steps that will need to be completed to get started in the study:

Step 1: Download the Intuition app on your iPhone

Step 2: Enroll in Intuition

Step 3: Participate from where you are
