A definitive diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease now requires a series of complicated and expensive imaging scans that look for abnormal protein plaques and tangles in the brain. But in the near future, ...

Breakthroughs in optical sensing, like band-pass Raman spectroscopy, promise a future free from painful finger-prick blood sugar tests. This non-invasive technology uses light to identify glucose, ...

A finger-prick blood test can accurately identify key Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers without the need for temperature or storage control measures, results of a new pilot study suggest. "The study ...

People with diabetes are supposed to check their blood glucose level at numerous points throughout the day, but research has shown that many fail to do this as frequently as they should, partly due to ...

A quick finger prick and a few drops of blood on a card that can be sent in regular mail. This approach could soon make Alzheimer’s testing much more accessible worldwide. A European study led by ...

A new study finds that antibody tests are able to predict prior COVID-19 infection, even for people with mild symptoms. Researchers also found that low-cost rapid screening methods, including finger ...
