Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale (ADAS)

The Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale (ADAS) is a tool used by healthcare professionals to measure the severity of cognitive impairments and daily functioning in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. It includes various tests that assess memory, language, reasoning, and ability to perform everyday activities. By evaluating these areas, the ADAS helps doctors determine how the disease is progressing and how well treatments are working. It provides a standardized way to monitor changes over time, aiding in diagnosis, care planning, and research for new therapies.
