JNCASR scientists develop smartphone-based diagnostic system for detection of Alzheimer’s disease

Scientists at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) have developed a smartphone-based diagnostic system for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease. The innovative system employs a fluorescence-responsive molecule, TZ-48, to identify the Alzheimer's biomarker amyloid-β (Aβ) through a smartphone-enabled platform.

This cost-effective and user-friendly diagnostic tool could revolutionize the way Alzheimer's is diagnosed by making it more accessible and affordable, potentially improving early detection and intervention.
