We know its a disease that starts more than a decade before those first symptoms appear, and its going to be really vital to treat them. This is the most successful blood test so far. Its 90% accurate. It works by looking at the blood and predicting the levels of amyloid beta inside the brains of patients who have alzheimer's disease, mild memory impairments or were completely healthy.
