ICB Medical AD Biomarker Test (2 People Plan)

AD Check™ Use of Technology
Simoa - Single Molecule Array
Simoa is an ultra-sensitive biomarker detection method that can detect extremely low concentrations of p-Tau217 protein and NfL in plasma. This testing method has received breakthrough medical device designation from the U.S. FDA[1], and international clinical literature confirms that it has high sensitivity and specificity.

Advantages
(1) Simple blood test, non-invasive
(2) Test by local accredited laboratory

AD Check認知測™ uses a breakthrough medical technology that has been clinically validated and recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to accurately detect the levels of a biomarker related to Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) pathology in the blood: phosphorylated Tau217 protein (p-Tau217). This helps assess the risk of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) pathology and allows for regular monitoring of risk changes as individuals age.

Research further indicates that the testing technology used in AD Check™ is consistent with the results of traditional positron emission tomography (PET-Aβ, PET-Tau) and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers (CSF Aβ42/40, and CSF p-Tau181).[3]

Additionally, the Simoa technology used in the test can measure the levels of Neurofilament Light Chain (NfL) in the blood. NfL is a protein that is crucial for the structure of brain neurons. When these neurons are damaged, NfL is released into the surrounding fluid and can be detected in the blood. Elevated levels of NfL in the blood are associated with various neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s Disease (AD).[2] Therefore, by measuring NFL levels, we can assess the risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases.
