Alzheimer’s blood test could hit the market in early 2024, researchers say.
The test detected the common dementia with 100% accuracy in clinical trials: ‘Key to improving outcomes’

Could a simple blood test detect Alzheimer’s disease years before symptoms appear?
New research from Resonant, a Utah biotech company that develops diagnostic tests for neurodegenerative diseases, suggests it may be possible.
Researchers said its new test achieved 100% accuracy in identifying patients with Alzheimer's disease and individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) who went on to develop Alzheimer's disease within five years.
In the study, a total of 50 blood plasma samples were tested. These included 25 older control individuals, 13 patients who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, six patients with mild cognitive impairment who later developed Alzheimer's, and six MCI patients who did not develop Alzheimer's.
The findings were published in Frontiers in Neurology on Oct. 31.
