The point is right now the doctor has to just guess whether it's Alzheimer's or something else unless they can do expensive imaging tests and a spinal tap with expensive testing on the spinal fluid at a reference lab. An antibody test on blood would be way cheaper and easier to do at scale and allow earlier and more confident treatment to more people. This will become more important as treatment improves over time (hopefully).
