I-MEASURED is a study that seeks to better understand the experiences and priorities of persons living with dementia and their loved ones in order to improve the way we test new treatments for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD). I-MEASURED is led by Dr. Catherine Auriemma of The PAIR Center in partnership with Dr. Jason Karlawish of the Penn Memory Center.
