Knowledge is power

Alzheimer's can begin twenty years or more before memory loss or other symptoms appear. Whether you are being proactive or are already concerned, we suggest early and periodic screening.

The Aromha Brain Health Test smell cards laid out ready to use

We have got your brain covered

The Aromha Brain Health Test was developed through years of research by Dr. Mark Albers at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, funded by National Institutes of Health grants.

Dr. Albers' research studies how the brain's ability to process smells relates to overall brain wellness. Per published literature, olfactory dysfunction has been associated with neurodegeneration, and with all-cause mortality and biological age.

A new approach to brain health screening

Your brain deserves a health monitor too

Aromha provides the olfactory screening test. It is the starting point of a wider brain-health pathway, and the other steps on that pathway, including digital cognitive testing and laboratory work, are offered by independent third parties rather than by Aromha.

Your journey starts with the Aromha olfactory Brain Health Test.

What the test can be used for

The Aromha Brain Health Test screens for olfactory loss. Per published literature, olfactory dysfunction has been associated with neurodegenerative diseases and conditions including Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, Parkinson's disease and traumatic brain injury.

The test is indicated for adults aged 18 and older. We recommend it from age 55, because that is where periodic screening is most useful, but anyone 18 or over can take it.

The test does not diagnose any of these conditions. It is a screen, and its results are a starting point for a conversation with a qualified healthcare professional.
