On 16 March 2020, due to concerns about the spread of the coronavirus and travel restrictions of most research partners, the AD Detect & Prevent had a full-day steering committee meeting by teleconference. Research partners and work package leaders all took part and had productive exchanges. This included updates and discussions about product development, the scientific trials, the planned database for pooling large datasets (including health, behavioural and neuroimaging data), the active control condition, Public and Patient Involvement, procedural ethics issues and steps towards acceptance and market adoption of the future product. Dianne represented Alzheimer Europe at this meeting, and emphasised the importance of pursuing the goal of ethical communication within the project and in disseminations activities after its completion. It was agreed that Alzheimer Europe and the European Working Group of People with Dementia would also continue to collaborate with the University of Nottingham on PPI work.
