A trial is under way to find out if a £100 blood test could
transform the way that the NHS diagnoses Alzheimer’s disease.
Alzheimer’s is the leading cause of dementia and diagnosis is
currently costly and time-consuming. To find out how this blood
test could benefit patients, Ian Sample talks to Prof Jonathan
Schott, who is co-leading the trial. He explains what the test
involves and why it could pave the way for exciting new treatments
for the devastating disease. Help support our independent
