Margaret and Barry share their reflections on the importance of early detection of Alzheimer's disease.
Scotland is one of six countries selected as a flagship site for the Davos Alzheimer's Collaborative (DAC) Healthcare System Preparedness Project for the Early Detection of Alzheimer’s Disease.
​
The project funds new approaches that measurably increase rates of cognitive screening, early detection, and accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease.
​
The Scotland flagship site incorporates a digital cognitive assessment (Linus Health’s Core Cognitive Evaluation) and an innovative blood-based biomarker (C2N’s PrecivityAD™) to evaluate advanced diagnostics in the patient journey.
​
Scotland works closely with the other flagship sites to share best practices and develop models for broader healthcare systems that can be scaled globally, through DAC Learning Labs, a network of governments, public health and healthcare system leaders.
