The Linus Health AI-powered platform enables primary care providers to quickly screen for, diagnose, and help manage cognitive issues for an expanding population. Striving to overcome stigma and bias, this approach to early detection is crucial because many underlying causes of cognitive decline are treatable or reversible.
David explains, "In brain health, especially, I'll talk first about cognitive health. There are up to 15 million Americans right now who have mild cognitive impairment, which is a precursor to dementia, and they do not know it. So, it's believed that up to 92% of mild cognitive impairment is undiagnosed, and up to 60% of dementia is undiagnosed. So we have this massive need to identify these folks and help them, empower them to get the resources to manage the condition, to optimize quality of life for themselves and their family and their loved ones. On the preventative side, empower folks to prevent dementia as much as possible, and maybe even half of dementia cases could be prevented through lifestyle modification."
"Furthermore, if it's found early, there's a lot that can be done both to prepare for the advancement of the disease and to delay the advancement of the disease, and to empower people to live the highest quality of life in their circumstances. Furthermore, not all mild cognitive impairment or dementia is due to Alzheimer's disease. There are some things that, especially in the mild cognitive impairment stage, can be done, like changing medications, diagnosing depression, dealing with sleep apnea, vitamin deficiencies, and so on and so forth, that can actually reverse the course or at least slow the progression."
