The Emerging Role of Blood Tests in Improving Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosis  Lori La Bey explores the new path of utilizing blood tests to diagnose Alzheimer's disease.  She speaks with two professionals in the industry and one person living with dementia but also received several questions from our audience that she will be asking our panel as well. Dr. Teodora Stoica is a Medical Science Liaison for ALZpath, an Alzheimer's Disease diagnosis company. With her strong neuroscience and science communication background, Teodora provides valuable resources to clinicians regarding ALZpath's products, namely ALZpathDx, a simple blood test available now that tests for Alzheimer's pathology in the brain. Dr. Lawren Vandevrede is an Assistant Professor of Neurology at UCSF and his goal is to provide outstanding clinical care to patients with cognitive problems and their loved ones. His clinical and research interests are in advancing the care of patients with neurodegenerative disorders, either through the development of novel therapeutics or increasing our understanding of the disease process. Ginger Smith is living with dementia and has stepped into an activist and advocate role speaking her truth about living with dementia and raising awareness for all dealing with it. She regularly participates in Dementia Chats educational videos sponsored by Alzheimer's Speaks as well as many other organizations. Learn: Is the blood test just for Alzheimer's disease or all different forms of dementia? What does the blood test look at? Is it a finger prick or a test tube of blood? What is the theory behind the diagnosis? Wasn't the Amyloid Plaque Theory disproved years ago? Why do we keep hearing about this? How accurate is the test? What is the benefit of early diagnosis? How will this affect my medical insurance, driving, and independence in the future? Will there be additional tests in the future once diagnosed? Is this test covered by insurance? What is the turnaround time for the test?

We discuss the when's and why's of how they got involved with art, along with what they get out of creating it, and other people's reactions to it. Individuals share the techniques they use, how they adapt as the disease progresses, and how their emotions are expressed through their work. We know Dementia and the Arts know no boundaries and feel it's important to be inclusive of all people no matter what form of dementia they are living with. We work hard to accommodate time zone differences around the world so we don't exclude people due to their location. Learn More Here https://alzheimersspeaks.com/dementia-and-the-arts/ In 2024, we changed our structure to feature individuals on an episode as well as including the care partner's voice to share their thoughts on how art can improve the quality of life for a person living with dementia.
