Alzheimer's early-stage protocols

Early-stage cognitive decline is the most credible long-horizon indication expansion. Small studies show cerebral perfusion improvement, and a larger RCT is enrolling — but this remains a research-watch item rather than a 2026 revenue plan.

What's driving it

  • Perfusion imaging endpoints improving in small cohorts
  • Larger multi-site RCT actively enrolling
  • Caregiver-driven inquiry volume rising independently of physician referral

Risks and counter-signals

  • Sample sizes too small to support marketing claims
  • Ethical exposure when marketing to cognitively impaired patients
  • Long timeline to any coverage decision

Recommended actions

  • Track the enrolling RCT and register interest as a referral site
  • Draft a conservative caregiver FAQ that sets realistic expectations
  • Do not add capacity for this indication yet
