CEOi held a blood-based biomarker symposium at the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry (AAGP) 2024 Annual Meeting, “Unleashing Diagnostic Innovation: Clinical Implementation of Blood-Based Biomarkers for Alzheimer’s Disease.”

CEOi held a panel discussion on the sidelines of AD/PD 2024. The session was moderated by George Vradenburg, Convener of CEOi, and featured Ana Pereira, Mount Sinai; Robert Perneczky, University of Munich; and Richard Batrla, Eisai.

The internet is abuzz with claims that biomarker blood tests are the key to predicting dementia 15 years out. Here's what you need to know about what these tests can — and can't — do.

Not so long ago, a blood test for Alzheimer’s disease seemed a pipe dream. Now, after years of study, the field is awash with sensitive assays that signal the proteopathic culprits Aβ and tau coalescing in the brain.

This guide provides information about blood tests for people with cognitive difficulties, such as problems with memory and/or thinking, which could be due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Testing for people with cognitive difficulties may be offered as part of a clinical evaluation or research study.

Dr. Ali Rezai told 60 Minutes that new developments in blood testing could help doctors identify patients who are at risk for Alzheimer's disease.

Newer blood tests can help doctors diagnose Alzheimer's disease without a brain scan or spinal tap. But some tests are more accurate than others.

Feel like your head is spinning? Like a little blood sample in a centrifuge, perhaps? No need to panic. It just means you are straining, like the rest of us, to keep up with the Alzheimer's disease plasma biomarker development field. New markers, new assays, new protocols seem to arrive at a dizzying pace.

Experts have raised concerns about Quest Diagnostics’ $399 consumer-initiated Alzheimer’s disease test, telling 360Dx that it is unclear whether the product is accurate enough to support its use

The first direct-to-consumer Alzheimer’s disease blood test has arrived. Quest Diagnostics, a worldwide diagnostic service headquartered in Secaucus, New Jersey, announced on July 31 that it would market a plasma Aβ42/ Aβ40 Alzheimer’s test to the public.
