What Exactly Is Alzheimer's Disease?

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) refers to cognitive impairment that causes a decline in memory, thinking, reasoning, and behavioral abilities. Dementia is a non-specific disease characterized by a group of conditions often used interchangeably with AD; however, the difference is that AD is one of the many types of Dementia, and when AD is left undiagnosed, it can progressively worsen over time.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, more than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s, and by 2050, this number is projected to rise to nearly 14 million.

Test for Early Diagnosis

DISCERN™ is the world’s only NIH Gold Standard validated (utilizing autopsy or genetically validated patient samples) test that aims to help healthcare providers determine whether a patient has Alzheimer’s disease or not, even at early onset. It assists healthcare providers in making a definitive diagnosis, removing doubt. This, in turn, ensures that they can start exploring the next step for a plan of care.

The DISCERN™ test empowers you with certainty so you can seek all of the necessary information required to learn more about the condition.

Why Should I Take the DISCERN™ Test?

Early signs of Alzheimer’s include memory loss that interferes with your or your loved one’s daily life. Some conditions that may cause your memory loss can be treated with an accurate and early diagnosis, such as Lyme’s Disease, vitamin deficiency, hypothyroidism, etc. An early diagnosis may provide individuals with access to a variety of clinical trials, which could advance research and may provide additional benefits.

If you or someone you know is experiencing memory loss, NOW IS THE TIME to discuss DISCERN™ with your family physician.

Understanding How
DISCERN™ Works

DISCERN™ is an easy-to-administer Alzheimer’s test that simply requires a small skin sample taken by a certified healthcare provider using a pre-packaged, sterilized testing kit. The sample is then shipped to our state-of-the-art laboratory for culturing and testing, where our scientists analyze it for the presence of three key proprietary biomarkers.

Accurate Results
Using Proven Technology

DISCERN™ is backed by over a decade of clinical research, has been validated in human clinical trials, and proved to be extremely accurate in both detecting Alzheimer’s disease and differentiating it from other types of dementias.
