About 6.2 million adults in the US are currently living with dementia, yet only about half have received a diagnosis, putting them as risk for unmet medical and supportive care needs as well as safety issues such as car accidents.
Participants in the validation study included 129,315 members of Kaiser Permanente Washington , an integrated health system providing insurance coverage and medical care, and 13,444 primary care patients at University of California San Francisco Health , an academic medical system. They add it is important to note that for this large-scale validation study, it was not feasible to conduct universal cognitive screening. As an alternative, they evaluated how well the eRADAR model predicted future dementia diagnoses in the EHR.
