Apple, Eli Lilly studying whether iPhones and Apple Watches can detect signs of dementia

The early-stage study took place over 12 weeks and included an 82-person healthy control group and 31 individuals with varying stages of cognitive decline.

The largest study ever of its kind enrolled over 400,000 participants from all 50 states in a span of only eight months.

The number comes from a massive RAND Corporation study which included 400,000 participants across the US, Europe and South Africa.
