This week in Scotland is Dementia Awareness Week. From 27may24 to 2jun24 they will focus on the theme “Your voice, Your choice, Your future.” With advancements in early detection of dementia becoming a reality, this will help people make informed decisions about their future.
Alzheimer Scotland has started trialing two new approaches to early detection of dementia. These include:
– An innovative digital cognitive assessment that measures cognitive function through tasks like drawing a clock from memory.
– A cutting-edge blood test that identifies a protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease.
These groundbreaking new tools hold the promise of empowering people with early dementia diagnoses, giving them more choice, a stronger voice, and the ability to better plan for their future. While there are still many questions to be answered, Alzheimer Scotland believes these developments will be highly valuable for those facing possible Alzheimer’s diagnoses.
The key takeaways are the focus on empowering people through early detection, the new digital and blood test tools being trialed, and the overall goal of giving people more choice and control over their future.
