Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the predominant cause of dementia and a leading cause of death globally. With no cure or treatment to slow disease progression, AD-related healthcare costs are substantial and increase as the severity of the disease progresses. Given the complexity of this disease, including initial pathophysiological damage occurring decades before clinical manifestation, finding new impactful treatments for AD relies on highly innovative research and development. However, such sizable and sustained investments bring into question whether conventional value assessment models are fit for this purpose. In this article, we examine the importance and challenges of assimilating the perspectives of varied stakeholders, including patients, caregivers, health systems, payers, and society at large, into a comprehensive value assessment model that may be well suited for a breakthrough treatment for AD.
