At-Home blood test for Alzheimer's risk studied in seniors
NCT ID NCT07594665
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adults aged 65 and older with memory concerns can collect a small blood sample at home to check for Alzheimer's disease risk. Participants will use a simple device to draw blood, mail it to a lab, and get results from a doctor over video. The goal is to see if this process is practical and acceptable for people.
