From cancer to cardiovascular care, early detection and management of health issues has had a profound impact on outcomes and people’s lives the world over. However, despite alarming projections around age-related cognitive disorders — dementia cases are expected to increase 40% to almost 80 million cases globally by 2030 alone — early detection methods and practices for brain health have lagged. Technology advancements offer new promise for more practical, efficient, and action-oriented assessments though, paving the way for providers and their patients to gain greater control of cognitive health.

This 60-minute webinar will provide you with the knowledge to:

Use digital cognitive assessments to detect subtle signs of cognitive impairment
Discover associations between certain cognitive tests and underlying biology and pathophysiology
Derive benefits for providers and patients from digital approaches for early detection
