Alzheimer's disease (AD) starts damaging the brain 10-20 years before memory problems begin. By the time of diagnosis, it is hard to treat because the damage is so severe. We need a way to detect AD much earlier. We will develop a simple new computer test to detect early signs of AD by recording and analysing hand movements. Then people can start prevention earlier and scientists can research better treatments to improve people's quality of life and reduce the number of people with dementia.

阿尔茨海默病 (AD) 在记忆问题开始前 10-20 年就开始损害大脑。到诊断时，由于损伤非常严重，治疗起来很困难。我们需要一种更早地检测 AD 的方法。我们将开发一种简单的新计算机测试，通过记录和分析手部动作来检测 AD 的早期迹象。这样人们就可以更早地开始预防，科学家就可以研究更好的治疗方法来改善人们的生活质量并减少痴呆症患者的数量。
