Where You Live Can Shape How Alzheimer ’ s Affects You
The FDA in mid-July for the first time ever approved an Alzheimer’s drug, Leqembi. The annual price-tag will run patients $26,500. The same week, the Alzheimer’s Association for the first time ever released county-level data to identify which communities are most struggling with the disease.

We hypothesized that statistical/machine learning modeling can improve risk prediction, thus helping inform care management strategies.
