Improving Early Detection and Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease
Research has undisputably shown that the key to preventing or delaying the cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) lies in early and accurate detection and diagnosis. Through this, patients can be provided with the opportunity to receive the right treatment at the right time. Not only can this improve their quality of life, but it has the potential to reduce long-term care costs associated with AD.
At Lilly, we understand that people living with AD don’t have time to waste, which is why, for more than three decades, we’ve remained committed to taking on AD from every angle. Our vision is that in 10 years’ time, timely detection, accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment and ultimately prevention will become a reality.
Yet, we understand that for this to become a reality, collaboration, partnership, and new approaches are required. This is why we are proud to join forces with the EFPIA AD platform to ‘ensure a brighter today and tomorrow for people with Alzheimer’s Disease’ and hope to encourage the wider decision maker community to get involved so that, together, we can improve the lives of millions of people around the world.
