Smith identified multiple risks: healthy people testing positive for biomarkers may never develop dementia; treatments have only been tested in people with mild cognitive impairment or dementia, not asymptomatic people; and there is no clear clinical pathway for what to do after a positive test. She also cited psychological burden, insurance implications, and treatment side effects as concerns.
