The Diagnostic Accelerator project at the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation is set to welcome Amazon founder Jeff Bezos as thousands of its backers. Bezos joins Bill Gates and other donors in supporting the “venture philanthropy” fund, which was launched in July 2018 to provide grants for the development of digital tools to diagnose and track Alzheimer’s disease. The fund has exceeded its original $35m target and has now reached close to $50m.
