Description
- Abstract
- Alzheimer's disease (ad) is the leading cause of dementia in the united states, affecting one out of every nine older adults. However, alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ad/adrd) can be difficult to diagnose, with physicians missing nearly half of all probable dementia cases. Rates of missed diagnosis are even higher among black older adults. The majority of physicians do not regularly screen their patients with cognitive tests, due mostly to a lack of time during their face-to-face time with patients. Thus, there is a clear need for a quick, objective test that can be administered by medical staff prior to the physician's time with the patient, which will prompt cognitive testing or a specialist referral for follow-up when there is concern for ad/adrd. Since research has shown that motor regions in the brain are affected early in the progression of ad, the long-term goal of neurosessments LLC is to develop a motor test that will help improve dementia detection in primary care that is appropriate for older adults from diverse backgrounds. Prior research by the neurosessments LLC team has developed an experimental version of a motor test that can identify dementia, predict functional decline, and detect brain amyloid, regardless of the patient's educational attainment, SEX, or age. The overall objective of this phase i sbir is to adapt the original version of this motor test into a quick (
