Imagine a world where Alzheimer's disease can be detected before memory fades. Would you want to know if you were at risk? For most Americans surveyed, the answer is yes: nearly 4 in 5 say they would want to know before it impacts their lives. This session explores emerging tools to diagnose Alzheimer's disease at the earliest stages, the challenges ahead, and what early awareness means for people, caregivers, and healthcare systems preparing for new approaches to proactive brain health.
