Effects of the Davos Alzheimer's Collaborative early detection of cognitive impairment program on clinician attitudes, engagement, and confidence
The implementation of digital cognitive assessment tools and a blood biomarker test was associated with an increase in healthcare professionals' confidence in diagnosing and managing patients with cognitive impairment in primary care and non-specialty settings. Digital cognitive assessments and blood biomarker tests are promising tools that could be utilized in primary care to increase clinicians' confidence in detecting dementia and lead to timely clinical evaluation, treatment, and referral to supportive resources.
