Brain Health Registry Switzerland aims to facilitate the registration of people who wish to contribute to research on Alzheimer's disease and memory-related diseases. Once registered in the registry, they are personally contacted by the researchers at the Centre of their choice (Basel, Bern, Fribourg, Geneva, Lausanne, Lugano, St. Gallen or Zurich) and offered the opportunity to participate in a study. Registration is non-binding and the volunteer may decide to continue or withdraw his or her participation at any time.

The register is open to all persons aged 50 and over, with or without cognitive impairment. After completing a questionnaire, the participant is contacted by a researcher if the criteria he or she has mentioned correspond to the subject of the research. Together they discuss the subject of the study and how the participant will be approached. He or she then decides whether or not to participate.
