Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Anglais)

At age 45, lifetime Alzheimer?s risk is 1 in 5 for women and 1 in 10 for men. Yet only 20% of patients are diagnosed at the mild cognitive impairment stage. A simple, non-invasive POCT biomarker-test device is urgently needed for earlier diagnosis leading to treatment and preserve quality of life.
