Three overarching ADNI goals are:
- To detect Alzheimerâs disease (AD) at the earliest stage possible and identify ways to track the disease through biomarkers.
- To support advances in AD intervention, prevention and treatment through the application of new diagnostic methods to apply at the earliest stages technically possible - when intervention may be most effective.
- To continually develop ADNIâs now- legendary data access policy and continuously improve and expand the unprecedented data sharing model.
ADNI began in October 2004 and was designed to find more sensitive and accurate methods to detect Alzheimerâs disease at earlier stages and mark its progress through biomarkers. The study gathered and analyzed thousands of brain scans, genetic profiles, and biomarkers in blood and cerebrospinal fluid that are used to measure the progress of disease or the effects of treatment.
