This disabling disorder affects 55 million people worldwide, with costs above $1.3 trillion. With 67 million people at risk for AD dementia (prodromal and preclinical AD) in Europe alone, it is a major unmet public health need, with increasing burden for European economies, healthcare and social care systems and a concern for the future. Yet, prevention and early detection strategies have been lacking. Recent advances in disease-modifying therapies and the huge potential benefits of preventive multidomain interventions based on modifiable lifestyle and vascular factors (prevention potential ~ 40%) provide new opportunities. New developments in blood-based biomarkers (BBMs) and digital cognitive tests enable broader, cost-effective testing. The AD-RIDDLE platform is envisioned to revolutionize how AD is detected and diagnosed, prevented and treated across healthcare settings (HCS). AD-RIDDLE centres around a toolbox platform concept, providing a series of validated tools at each key step to enable HCS and practitioners to deploy enhanced AD management across diverse patient populations. The AD-RIDDLE toolbox platform will include a) community outreach tools to increase awareness/activation on AD prevention; b) combination of easily available, clinically validated biomarkers: digital cognitive tools and BBMs, for early detection of AD dementia risk; c) validated algorithms supporting clinical decisions, to identify people who can benefit from specific preventive therapies (pharma and/or non-pharma) using precision prevention approach. The toolbox usability and efficacy with be tested in realworld settings. We expect that the AD-RIDDLE modular and flexible design can facilitate broad uptake from different healthcare systems, and its tools can advance research to develop cost-effective preventive therapies for AD, with scalability for other dementias</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
