AI‐Based Hyperspectral Retinal Imaging for Alzheimer’s Disease Detection: Preliminary Insights from the Bio‐Hermes‐002 Study Open
Background Artificial intelligence (AI)‐based retinal hyperspectral imaging (rHSI) represents a promising, non‐invasive approach to detecting Alzheimer’s disease (AD)‐related pathology, offering scalability and potential point‐of‐care util…

How can we facilitate adoption and scale for early detection of Alzheimer’s disease? Insights from implementing a community‐based screening program using cognitive assessments and RetiSpec screening in Ontario, Canada Open
Background A critical need to increase Alzheimer’s disease (AD) screening exists given rising incidence, new disease‐modifying treatments, and ill‐equipped primary care settings. This study assessed the feasibility of a novel, community‐ba…

Hyperspectral analysis of amyloid beta (Aβ) evolutional changes in preclinical to late‐stage Alzheimer’s disease using matched brain and retinal tissue Open
Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive, degenerative brain disorder that leads to cognitive impairment and eventually death. It is marked by buildup of abnormal amyloid aggregates (Aβ) in the brain. This study aimed to elucid…

Population-Based Estimates of Health Care Utilization and Expenditures by Adults During the Last 2 Years of Life in Canada’s Single-Payer Health System Open
In this study, health care use and spending in the last 2 years of life in Ontario were high. These findings highlight a trend in hospital-centered care before death in a single-payer health system.

Evaluating the Process and Outcomes of a Knowledge Translation Approach to Supporting Use of the Diabetes Population Risk Tool (DPoRT) in Public Health Practice Open
To support the use of the Diabetes Population Risk Tool (DPoRT) in public health settings, a knowledge brokering (KB) team used and evaluated the Population Health Planning Knowledge-to-Action model. Participants (n = 24) were from four he…

Accumulation Of Chronic Conditions At The Time Of Death Increased In Ontario From 1994 To 2013 Open
With falling mortality rates for several diseases, patients are living longer with complex multimorbidities. We explored the burden of multimorbidity at the time of death, how it varies by socioeconomic status, and trends over time in Onta…
