On 25 and 26 September, the REMOTE-AD expert group gathered in Berlin (Germany). The meeting was hosted by the Deutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen (DZNE) at the offices of the Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft, and was attended by Soraya Moradi-Bachiller, Public Involvement Officer at Alzheimer Europe, alongside experts from France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, United Kingdom and United States of America. David Berron, research group leader at the DZNE, welcomed all the participants and paved the way for two days of informative and fruitful discussions. During the two-day meeting, the consortium worked on recommendations and the necessary framework and standards for the future clinical implementation of remote digital assessments in early Alzheimer's disease. The group of experts also evaluated the associated social and ethical risks of the use of remote digital assessment technologies from a patient and carer/supporter perspective.
