Early detection of Alzheimer's disease is crucial, as proactive care can prevent up to 40% of dementia cases. Persistent cognitive decline, not normal aging, signals biological changes in the brain that require timely screening and assessment. Biomarker blood tests, particularly for proteins like p-tau217, are becoming increasingly accurate in diagnosing Alzheimer's-related changes, approaching the precision of more invasive methods. AI
