Conditions: Alzheimer Disease; Mild Cognitive Impairment; Memory Loss; Memory Disorders; Memory Impairment

Summary: apheleia-001 is a prescreener that aims to identify and characterize participants with reported cognitive impairment using demographic information, clinical history, brief cognitive assessments, and blood-based biomarkers to distinguish appropriate participants for referral to a therapeutic ad clinical trial.
