  • Pragmatic Trials Testing ‘Passive Digital Marker’ For Detecting Dementia

    Diagnostics World News | Research scientists at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis and Regenstrief Institute have developed a “passive digital marker” (PDM), powered by machine learning, to help identify people at risk for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias at an earlier stage in primary care settings. Application of the PDM will now be tested in the real world in a pair of pragmatic randomized controlled trials.

  • New Test Overcomes Big Hurdle In Blood-Based Detection Of Alzheimer’s

    Diagnostics World News | An international team of neuroscientists expect to soon be handing off development of a promising new blood test for Alzheimer’s disease neurodegeneration to a U.S.-based biomarker company. The immunoassay selectively measures brain-derived tau and was recently demonstrated to outperform both assessments of plasma total tau levels and measurements of neurofilament light chain concentration, a protein marker of nerve cell damage.
