Reengineering Alzheimer's Disease Management
The approval of disease-modifying therapies for early, symptomatic Alzheimer's disease is raising hope for patients and caregivers. And promising new therapeutic and diagnostic capabilities are expected in the next five years. Unfortunately, the healthcare system is not prepared to serve all patients who might benefit from these innovations.
Our project focuses on one key leverage point in advancing health system preparedness in the US: reengineering early Alzheimer's disease management (detection, diagnosis, and treatment) to be more primary care oriented.
Outputs from this project will include a portfolio of resources:
- Roadmap 2030, with a particular focus on transforming early Alzheimer’s disease care
- An open access dynamic simulation model of Alzheimer’ disease for system innovation design and implementation planning
- Implementation plan for several system change blueprints, demonstrating use of the simulation model on actionable opportunities
- Ongoing communication activities to enhance visibility and catalyze real-world adoption of tools and blueprints across the Alzheimer’s ecosystem.
- Evolving Issue Briefs - foundational references that keep pace with the ever-changing ecosystem
Official resource site launch: Summer 2026
ISSUE BRIEFS
This collection of briefs focuses on important issues specific to Alzheimer's disease care and provide foundational understanding to those looking for more information. By design, these briefs are live posts on the website that can be updated as the ecosystem evolves, to provide up-to-date references for the Roadmap.
Watch this space as they will be developed and published throughout the project:

About Biomedical Health Efficiency
The Biomedical Health Efficiency (BHE) Project addresses a growing gap between biomedical innovation and streamline healthcare system readiness. We focus on enabling healthcare systems to deliver the right interventions to the right patients at the right time—achieving better outcomes with fewer wasted resources. Through multi-stakeholder collaboration, BHE identifies where value is lost across policy, payment, care delivery, and patient experience, and designs practical, scalable solutions that improve real-world adoption, access, and performance of emerging therapies. Our goal is to ensure that scientific advances realize their full clinical and economic potential for patients, providers, payers, and society.
Join NEWDIGS
The NEWDIGS consortium is a global “think and do” tank focused on improving health outcomes by accelerating appropriate, timely, and equitable access to biomedical products in ways that are scalable and sustainable for the system.
We tackle challenges that are too big and complex to be addressed by any single organization or stakeholder alone. Join us as we build on our proven multi-stakeholder system design methods to advance the next way of innovation through our Biomedical Health Efficiency project.
