Summary
This study tested whether a finger prick blood sample can accurately measure Alzheimer's disease biomarkers, specifically pTau-217, compared to standard blood draws from a vein. Researchers enrolled 49 adults already participating in an Alzheimer's study. The goal was to see if the finger prick method is accurate, easy to use, and acceptable to patients, which could make Alzheimer's testing more accessible.
