Sussex Partnership is delighted to have opened as a site for SANDBOX, a national study testing innovative ways to provide earlier dementia diagnosis, using blood tests, artificial intelligence, digital testing and genetic screening.
Participants will gain valuable insights into their APOE4 status, which may inform future clinical decisions and support personalised care. The study will evaluate a new, biologically informed triage system that begins after GP referral, and will look at the feasibility of integrating novel biomarkers and digital cognitive testing into dementia diagnostic pathways, potentially revolutionising patient care.
This study is sponsored by Prima Mente and led by Imperial College London and is open within Sussex Partnership to patients within our High Weald, Lewes and Haven Memory Assessment Service.
