It could change the future of Alzheimer’s diagnosis and treatment.
The disease causes a decline in memory, thinking and reasoning skills. These symptoms can slowly appear over time, making early detection and diagnosis difficult for sufferers and doctors.
However, new research from scientists at the University of Warwick’s WMG department offers a promising future for the diagnosis and treatment of this difficult condition.Scientists are working on a groundbreaking smell and taste test that can identify individuals with Alzheimer’s disease before they start to show symptoms of memory loss.Researchers are hoping to utilise a machine that is capable of accurately creating different flavours.
If patients aren’t easily identifying the tastes and smells, they’ll be referred for further examinations which the researchers hope could potentially lead to an early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and enable timely interventions in treatment. This method of diagnostics is thought to provide a more accurate determination of a person’s perception ability.It’s also a lot less invasive than many of the ways that we currently diagnose Alzheimer’s which, according to theThese tests all take place once memory loss has occurred meaning that often the disease is advancing.
