The FDA has approved PrecivityAD2, a new blood test by C2N Diagnostics for adults aged 40 and older undergoing Alzheimer's assessment. The test detects brain amyloid plaques to support clinical evaluation and is not intended as a standalone screening tool.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Medtech, and 11 sources have reported it between 20 Aug 2026 and 4 Sep 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Medtech founders know the door just opened for blood-based Alzheimer's diagnostics in the US. You need to move fast to integrate or compete with C2N Diagnostics' new test now approved for aiding diagnosis in symptomatic adults.
