We are proud to co-author and contribute to this important research on data-driven diagnostic pathways in dementia! ?? In collaboration with @Aniek V. , @Hanneke and fellow researchers, we explored a data-driven approach to optimize stepwise diagnostic testing across three key clinical scenarios: ? Syndrome diagnosis ? Etiological diagnosis ? Eligibility for disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) By leveraging our digital cognitive test battery cCOG as a pre-screener and an AI-based classifier, we developed accurate and efficient diagnostic pathways. This approach has the potential to assist clinicians in selecting tests with real added value, improving both accuracy and efficiency in dementia diagnostics. With the increasing availability of DMTs, ensuring accessible and cost-effective diagnostic pathways is more important than ever. We are excited to further test this approach clinically as part of IHI-PROMINENT. A big thank you to all collaborators—let’s continue pushing the boundaries of innovation in healthcare! ??Link: https://lnkd.in/g2s7m42p ?? #AI #HealthcareInnovation #DementiaDiagnostics #IHI_PROMINENT

** paper alert! ** https://lnkd.in/defKuBqR Aniek van Gils published a data-driven approach to efficiently guide stepwise diagnostic testing for three clinical scenarios: 1) syndrome diagnosis, 2) etiological diagnosis, and 3) eligibility for DMT. Using a digital cognitive test cCOG, as prescreener, and a AI based classfier, we were able to create accurate and efficient diagnostic pathways. As such, a data-driven tool holds promise for assisting clinicians in selecting tests of added value across different clinical contexts. This becomes especially important with DMT availability, where the need for more efficient diagnostic pathways is crucial to maintain the accessibility and affordability of dementia diagnoses. In IHI-PROMINENT we will test this approach clinically.
