WHY CANT PATIENTS SELF TEST WITH THE TYM?
The TYM test is designed as a screening test for Alzheimer’s disease not as a diagnostic test. There may be many reasons why a patient scores poorly – for example poor vision. A health professional can decide the reason for a poor score and arrange appropriate assessments. Alzheimer’s disease should be diagnosed by a Doctor with experience in seeing patients with memory problems after appropriate tests – usually including a brain scan. There are many pitfalls. A brief test is no substitute for a proper professional assessment.
