Because of repeated failures of clinical trials, the concept of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been changing rapidly in recent years. As suggested by the National Institute on Aging and the Alzheimer's Association Research Framework, the diagnosis and classification of AD is now based on biomarkers rather than on symptoms, allowing more accurate identification of proper candidates for clinical trials by pathogenesis and disease stage. Recent development in neuroimaging has provided a way to reveal the complex dynamics of amyloid and tau in the
brain in vivo, and studies of blood biomarkers are taking another leap forward in diagnosis and treatment of AD. In the field of basic and translational research, the development of animal models and a deeper understanding of the role of neuroinflammation are taking a step closer to clarifying the pathogenesis of AD. Development of big data and the Internet
of Things is also incorporating dementia care and research into other aspects. Large-scale genetic research has identified genetic abnormalities that can provide a foundation
for precision medicine along with the aforementioned digital technologies. Through the first international conference of the Korean Dementia Association, experts from all over the world gathered to exchange opinions with association members on these topics. The Academic Committee of the Korean Dementia Association briefly summarizes the contents of the lectures to convey the depth of the conference and discussions. This will be an important milestone in understanding the latest trends in AD's pathogenesis, diagnostic and therapeutic research and in establishing a future direction.
