Smells like Theranos innit
🎶 it’d don’t mean crap unless it has known and useful levels of sensitivity and specificity, and you know how to use the results to update your probabilities 🎵
Useless
Nope, one doctor at our institute got funding but every professor is laughing at this. Its not working
And then what
Clickbaity.
“The device has so far been tested on brain tissue samples from deceased Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s patients, where it proved to be as accurate as state-of-the-art testing techniques. That said, the ultimate goal is for it to detect the biomarkers in live patients’ saliva or urine samples.”
Summary: device based on Covid style testing (saliva) COULD be used in the future to detect proteins that are markers for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
It’s currently only effective with brain tissue samples.
This could be great but this sounds like Theranos BS
So basically “there’s a 60% chance that it’s already raining” but with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
Why not just get a sample of the alive person’s brain and test it? I mean, it would be simple procedure.
Make sure your quality of life subscription plan covers the use of this device to avoid financial and social ruin!
It’s out of pocket only, sorry
