Yesterday, project partners Faye Forsyth & @chrisbintener.bsky.social met with members of @alzheimereurope.bsky.social European Working Group of People with Dementia to discuss how to implement feedback on a saliva sample collection procedure to screen for #Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers. #EWGPWD

What are we up to today?
The @ihieurope.bsky.social funded @ihi-prominent.bsky.social project partners are meeting today for our third General Assembly meeting in Stockholm & online.
Find out more about our mission to improve precision medicine in neurodegeneration: www.ihi-prominent.eu

Today, Faye Forsyth & I met Praveen Sharma to discuss feedback from EWGPWD and EDCWG on a device to detect Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers in saliva.
Next week we’ll focus on how to communicate test results with potential future users: fluidx-ad.eu

The @fluidx-ad.bsky.social consortium met in Bologna to review progress and plan next steps in developing saliva, plasma and blood tests to improve early diagnosis & management of #Alzheimer’s disease.

HemoDx, is developing a saliva collection device that could enable cheaper and easier screening for #Alzheimer’s disease.

Together with @alzheimereurope.bsky.social, people affected by dementia provided feedback through structured Public Involvement consultations.

Anti-Amyloid Therapies for Alzheimer’s Disease: An Alzheimer Europe Position Paper and Call to Action - The Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease The growing prevalence and burden of Alzheimer’s disease has catalysed huge investments in research on its causes, diagnosis, treatment and care. After many high-profile failures, recent clinical tria...

Healthcare systems in Europe will need to adapt the way they support, treat and care for people with Alzheimer's disease.

Hi Maria, thank you for your comment. No, I don't think the healthcare systems are ready. Unfortunately, there are quite a few aspects to be taken into account. Even with disease-modifying treatments coming.

Douglas McAllister: ‘A dementia diagnosis should be a right, not a waiting game’ - Politics.co.uk When we talk about the great health challenges facing the UK, cancer and heart disease rightly come to mind. But too often we overlook dementia – the leading cause of death in this country for some ti...

Dementia is the leading cause of death in the UK, yet too many families wait years for a diagnosis.

I am proud to support @alzresearchuk.bsky.social’s #DementiaUnseen campaign calling for early, accurate diagnosis.

The x-axis shows age groups (30–59, 60–64, 65–69, 70–74, 75–79, 80–84, 85–89, 90+). The y-axis shows number of people (0–5,000). Three lines represent years: 2018 (blue), 2025 (orange), 2050 (green). Across all age groups, projected numbers rise sharply by 2050, especially from age 70 upwards, peaking around 5,000 in the 90+ group. Source: Dementia in Europe Yearbook 2019.

Your support in this quest is really crucial. Thank you for the participation!

It was a pleasure to collaborate with Alzheimer Europe to co-host an important lunch debate on new research and developments in preventing Alzheimer and other memory-disabling diseases.

With a full room, we had experts from across Europe sharing updates and opportunities from various projects💡❤️‍🩹
