The new Alzheimer’s test that will help young people

from The Daily Aus · host The Daily Aus

This week, the Therapeutic Goods Administration approved an Australian-first blood test for Alzheimer’s disease that can detect the condition 20 years before symptoms emerge. The blood test will also deliver results within 18 minutes. And while the disease does largely appear in older populations, it can silently develop in the brain much earlier.  On today’s podcast, we’ll share what you need to know.  Hosts: Zara Seidler and Billi FitzSimonsProducer: Avegail MatutinaVideo editor: Imogen Abbott Want to support The Daily Aus?
