Must be between 21-86 and live in the US. Must have an iPhone 8 or newer. Must wear daily for data collection, perform a series of cognitive surveys. Download the app and perform the questionnaire along with a cognitive test to qualify. After the test, you confirm your address and they send you the Apple Watch SE. It took about a week after finishing the main survey. And I just received it by FEDEX. Apple Watch SE 44mm Space Gray. I was not given a choice of which watch I wanted.

You can read more about it on their website. Or search the App Store for Intuition.

Be part of Intuition: a brain health study
Intuition is a virtual research study sponsored by Biogen, in collaboration with Apple, for participants between the ages of 21 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.

I signed up and qualified. There is a final step that you take where it's a bunch of memorizing shapes and stuff. Several different variations and challenges to do. It gets increasingly difficult. It should be interesting to participate. All in all I qualified and was able to choose the 40mm or 44mm watch.

Interesting. I wonder why you qualify if nobody else did

When you say nobody else did, there are only two people who have posted where they may not have qualified. One thing I would recommend is to answer the assessment honestly and not try to think they are looking for a correct answer.

Only way to qualify seems to be to lie about having cognitive impairment?
Appears to be so. It could be that they also have enough healthy volunteers in your particular age group.

I presume that many people did not qualify based on the mass of thumbs down. I didn't qualify. Maybe it's an age thing. Or lack of cognitive impairment.

Glad some SDers qualified for it. It's for a great cause. I asked the mods to move this to anther section. For SDers that qualified, it took about a week to arrive from FEDEX. The sender is IQVIA.

I was personally invited to this study back in October via another health app that I use, so far I've cashed out 34.60 dollars and I'm almost to the cashout minimum again. They do require you to get to 100,000 points during the study to be able to keep the watch but since October 27th, I've already gotten 43,000 points.

Is the watch even worth keeping since it doesn't record SP02 or ECG? All it does is heart rate.

I already have an Apple Watch, so I use the one from the study to track my sleeping trends while my daytime watch is charging.
