Alzheimer’s disease is not an easy one to diagnose, with physicians relying on expensive PET scans and fluid sampling to make a decision on a patient’s wellbeing. Some exciting advances are being made when it comes to blood-testing, however, that could change the game by offering clearer insights into the disease during its earlier stages.
