Blood Test for Alzheimer's - Finally a Diagnostic That Doesn't Need a Brain Doc?

Just saw this article about C2N Diagnostics partnering with a Korean company to offer blood tests for Alzheimer's. Sounds like a game changer. Anyone have thoughts on this? I know it's not power tools but it's tech and I'm curious.

Interesting stuff. I've been reading about these blood tests for a while. It's cool that they're expanding to other countries. The Precivity test seems pretty accurate. My dad had Alzheimer's, so early detection would've been huge. Wish something like this was around 10 years ago.

Yeah, but I'd be skeptical about the reliability. I mean, a blood test for a brain disease? It's not like checking cholesterol. But if it works, it could save a lot of time and money compared to PET scans. Wonder if insurance will cover it.

Good point Bob. I heard it's not a definitive diagnosis but a screening tool, so you still need a specialist. Still, it might reduce the guesswork. Anyone know the cost?

I think it's around $1,250 or so, but maybe less now. Not covered by Medicare yet, I think. But if it catches on, maybe it'll be covered. Definitely something to watch.
