ReMind Brain Health Study

Are you aged 50+ years and concerned about your memory or have been experiencing subtle changes in your thinking skills? The Resilient Minds Study (ReMind) Brain Health Study is an on-site lab assessment as well as an app-based longitudinal study of cognitive and mental health resilience.

  • Brain and Nerve Health, Healthy ageing, Mental and behavioural health

Study Purpose/Description

Researchers at UNSW are conducting a study to better understand subjective cognitive changes in adults, and the biological factors that make us resilient to brain and psychological ageing.

This study aims to explore what type of changes are experienced, what they mean for individuals, and how to effectively measure them. People who choose to participate will be invited to take part in a long-term study that involves an on-site lab assessment consisting of brain imaging scans, a fasting blood sample, a tear sample, and an eye scan.

What’s Involved? 

Participants will be asked to complete the following research activities if they agree to participate:

  • Telephone interview to assess eligibility and safety screening:
  • In-person laboratory session at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney involving the following activities:
    • Brain imaging scan (MRI)
    • Eye scan and tear sample collection
    • Blood sample collection
  • Online survey on cognition
  • Online survey for a nominated friend/family member
  • Join the Resilient Minds app-based study (iPhone users only)
