Encouraging developments in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other dementias are all around us.
With new treatments coming to market, such as Leqembi (lecanemab), and a pipeline of 140+ agents in development, providers have increasingly powerful weapons to use against AD — adding to expanding data on the impact of lifestyle interventions.
However, time is of the essence for a paradigm shift in brain health to foster earlier detection and intervention. How can providers — especially those on the front lines in primary care — best adapt to this changing landscape and enhance care for older adults?
Join Alvaro Pascual-Leone, M.D., Ph.D. —chief medical officer and co-founder of Linus Health; professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School; and medical director of the Deanna and Sidney Wolk Center for Memory Health at Hebrew SeniorLife — and John Showalter, M.D. — chief product officer at Linus Health and a dual board-certified primary care physician — as they share insights into the changing landscape of cognitive care, the criticality of early detection, and the role modern cognitive assessment tools can play in streamlining testing and triage.
