A simple finger prick blood test may help diagnose Alzheimer’s disease, according to research revealed this week at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) in Amsterdam.

Researchers detected key Alzheimer's-related biomarkers in dried blood samples drawn from a finger prick.

From there, it can take an average of three hours to be moved to a thrombectomy centre. However, these new finger-prick blood tests help diagnose LVOs faster and get patients the treatment they need.

Monash engineers have developed the first-of-a-kind finger-prick blood test with ‘needle-in-a hay-stack’ precision to detect the hallmark (protein) biomarkers in early AD before symptoms progress.

A finger-prick blood test can accurately identify key Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers without the need for temperature or storage control measures, results of a new pilot study suggest.

Researchers say they’re one step closer to being able to diagnose Alzheimer's disease using a finger prick blood test. The test has the potential to be used at home and reach more people, they said.
