- Together, these organizations have worked to develop a pilot cognitive assessment toolkit for medical providers to increase rates of cognitive screenings.
- Early detection is key to managing Alzheimer’s disease, a progressive brain disorder and the most common type of dementia.
- Cognitive decline is not inevitable, and therapeutic interventions for those in mid-life with early Alzheimer’s disease are now viewed as critical to unlocking a potential 40% reduction in late-life Alzheimer’s.
- Throughout the 12-week pilot period, providers at each site will collect clinical data about patient outcomes related to use of the cognitive assessment toolkit.
