The HKUST-developed blood test can achieve exceptionally accurate classification of Alzheimer’s disease (accuracy >96%) and mild cognitive impairment (accuracy >87%). This surpasses the performance of certain existing blood tests for Alzheimer’s disease that use Aβ42/40, NfL, or p-Tau181 biomarkers.
