Description
Steven Smith and co-authors report a flagship tryout of two-step Alzheimer's screening in ordinary clinics. Their 2023 study, part of an international collaborative, offered older patients a digital cognitive test at home, then a blood biomarker test to those scoring abnormal or borderline.
Social media recruited far more volunteers than doctor referrals. Of about seven hundred forty who completed the digital battery, twenty-eight percent screened positive and fifteen percent borderline. Among the one hundred ninety-two who took the blood test, about eighteen percent showed high likelihood of amyloid plaques. Digital tool use varied by race and ethnicity, an equity flag the authors note. They judge both steps feasible in primary care and a funnel toward new disease-modifying treatments.
