New research by Aust scientists has demonstrated that a quick, non-invasive eye scan can identify changes in the retina that could be used to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease. Assoc Prof Peter van Wijngaarden and @xavierhadoux from @EyeResearchAus are available for comment.
Volunteers with @healthybrain_au@yenyinglim will be able to trial this revolutionary new eye test to see how accurately it can assess their risk levels for #Alzheimers disease
If you’re working on digital biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, I encourage you to apply for the next round of funding on the Diagnostics Accelerator website: https://t.co/pQP0E0x8oO
We're excited to be able to start trialling eye tests to detect Alzheimer's disease thanks to generous support from @TheADDF@BillGates, and also Australian supporters who helped us get this far. @unimelb@TheFlorey@PetervanWijnga2
Thank you @BillGates and @TheADDF for supporting our research to develop an eye test to detect early signs of Alzheimer's disease. We are now able to start a trial in Melbourne, accelerating the pace of research to find treatments and cures. @unimelb@TheFlorey@PetervanWijnga2
Proud to be a recipient of this funding to accelerate our research. Many thanks to @TheADDF,@BillGates, @JeffBezos,@mackenziebezos and other funders for your visionary support of this effort to change Alzheimer’s disease. @EyeResearchAus@unimelb@EnlightenImg
Congratulations to the first round of award recipients from @TheADDF’s Diagnostics Accelerator. Your ideas are getting us closer to a reliable, affordable, and easy-to-use diagnostic for Alzheimer’s disease.
Thank you for being an incredible partner on this important initiative. W/ your support and the support of the other #DiagnosticsAccelerator funders, we will fast-track the development of novel #Alzheimers biomarkers & tests that will get us closer to a cure.
