This initiative, led by the Read-Out research team at Dementias Platform UK, seeks to address gaps in diagnosis and enhance early detection of dementia, ultimately improving outcomes for people living with the condition.

The trial is part of the Blood Biomarker Challenge a multi-million-pound programme led by Alzheimer's Society and Alzheimer's Research UK, supported with funds raised by players of People's Postcode Lottery.
