Managed Care Cast

We discuss the May 16 FDA approval of the first blood test to diagnose Alzheimer disease. This landmark approval marks a significant shift in how Alzheimer disease is identified, moving away from more traditional methods or invasive methods. Our guests, Howard Fillit, the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation, and Anthony “Nino” Sireci, MD, MSc, Eli Lilly and Company, help us understand this “huge accomplishment" and how it may be able to transform the diagnostic landscape from one of nihilism to one of hope and early intervention.
