Alzheimer’s disease: Wearable headband could offer early detection

• Alzheimer’s disease affects thinking and brain function. It can lead to significant declines in independence and quality of life.
• Researchers are still seeking how to best detect Alzheimer’s disease.
• A recent study found that measuring specific brainwave patterns and their relationship during sleep may help early detect Alzheimer’s disease, even before symptoms are present.

Alzheimer’s disease is a condition that still has many components we don’t understand. Research on how to detect Alzheimer’s disease early is still ongoing.

A recent study looked at how certain brainwave patterns correlated with other indicators of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers found that a simple wearable device to measure the brain’s electrical activity effectively detected distinct patterns that may indicate Alzheimer’s disease.
