"Early diagnosis harbors silver linings."

Implementing DISCERN™ in Clinical Settings

In Dr. Traudt’s clinic, the DISCERN™ test is pivotal for diagnosing Alzheimer's Disease accurately and early.

"Integrating DISCERN™ has fundamentally shifted our approach to dementia diagnostics," explains Dr. Traudt. "It allows us to establish precise treatment plans and manage the disease proactively from the onset."

Case Study: Enhancing Patient Outcomes

A patient named Robert came to her worried about his memory lapses, especially given his family history of Alzheimer’s. Dr. Traudt recommended the DISCERN™ test to get clear insights into his cognitive health. The results indicated early cognitive decline but ruled out Alzheimer’s, allowing them to address the real causes of his symptoms.

"We adjusted Robert’s medication which had been negatively impacting his memory, and implemented targeted cognitive therapies and lifestyle changes," Dr. Traudt notes. "The specificity of the DISCERN™ test gave us the confidence to personalize his treatment effectively."

The Impact of Precision Medicine

Thanks to this personalized approach, Robert’s quality of life significantly improved. He remains actively engaged in his community and enjoys quality time with his family, secure in the knowledge that he is taking proactive steps to maintain his cognitive health.

Advocating for Early Intervention

Dr. Traudt continues to promote early testing with DISCERN™ among her peers and patients. "Our goal isn’t just to add years to life, but to add life to those years," she states. Her practice is filled with stories like Robert’s, which highlight the transformative potential of precise diagnostics and personalized care in Alzheimer's treatment.
