The goal of this is to develop an easy at home test that can be used to assist in diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD). The test will use an FDA approved device for at home blood sample collection. The blood samples will be evaluated to determine if the concentration of p-tau217, a biomarker that is elevated in AD patients, measured from blood samples collected using the at home device is comparable to the results obtained from blood samples collected by venipuncture.
