The multiyear study will start later in 2021 and enroll participants across age ranges with varying cognitive performance levels to develop biomarkers that can identify early signs of mild cognitive impairment, Biogen said.

“The successful development of digital biomarkers in brain health would help address the significant need to accelerate patient diagnoses and empower physicians and individuals to take timely action,” Michel Vounatsos, Biogen CEO, said in a press release.
