About
Dr. Aaron Lam is a leading researcher in cognitive aging, with a specific focus on the intersection of sleep, memory, and mobile health technology. His work centers on understanding sleep-dependent memory consolidation—the process by which short-term memories are stabilized into long-term storage—and how this critical function is disrupted in older adults with subjective and objective cognitive impairment. Lam’s major contribution lies in pioneering accessible, technology-driven methodologies to assess this complex cognitive process outside the laboratory. His highly cited 2025 study, "Perceptions of the Use of Mobile Apps to Assess Sleep-Dependent Memory in Older Adults," employed a focus group approach to explore the feasibility and user experience of smartphone-based cognitive assessments. This work is foundational for developing scalable, remote tools to detect early memory decline, directly addressing the challenges of administering sleep-dependent memory tasks in aging populations. With a growing citation impact, Lam’s research is shaping the future of digital cognitive health, offering practical pathways for earlier intervention and personalized monitoring of memory function in at-risk older adults.
