Why do so many scientific discoveries fail to achieve their full patient-impact potential? The greatest limitation in science is often not discovery. It is implementation. After years of working across academia, diagnostics, sports science, medical affairs, and population health management, we have seen the size of the evidence-to-practice gap—and how much scientific value and patient impact can be lost within it. Healthcare may be able to learn something from sports science.

Blood biomarkers have made earlier biological detection of Alzheimer's disease possible. But are patients truly benefiting? Scientific discovery alone does not change patient outcomes. Implementation does. The next chapter in Alzheimer's care is no longer about whether p-tau217 works. It is about building the ecosystem that translates innovation into impact. That requires: Physician confidence and education Evidence-based clinical guidelines Regulatory approval and standardiz
