This book explores international biomedical research and
development on the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. It
offers timely, multidisciplinary reflections on the social and
ethical issues raised by promises of early diagnostics and asks
under which conditions emerging diagnostic technologies can be
considered a responsible innovation. The initial chapters in this
edited volume provide an overview and a critical discussion of
recent developments in biomedical research on Alzheimer's disease.
Subsequent contributions explore the values at stake in current
practices of dealing with Alzheimer's disease and dementia, both
within and outside the biomedical domain. Novel diagnostic
technologies for Alzheimer's disease emerge in a complex and
shifting field, full of controversies. Innovating with care
requires a precise mapping of how concepts, values and
responsibilities are filled in through the confrontation of
practices. In doing so, the volume offers a practice-based approach
of responsible innovation that is also applicable to other fields
of innovation.
