Participating in public private partnership to advance EU Horizon research project on Alzheimer's
The PREDICTOM project includes hearing health as part of its initiative because recent research has found a significant link between hearing loss and the risk of developing dementia. GN is contributing to this project, focusing on the importance of understanding hearing loss as a risk factor and developing easily accessible solutions to identify individuals at earlier stages to support patients throughout their health journey toward maximum impact of available treatments. Early detection of Alzheimer’s is crucial, and PREDICTOM's AI screening platform aims to identify individuals at risk before symptoms manifest, which includes assessing various biomarkers, potentially including those related to hearing health.
