Exciting Momentum in the Fight Against Dementia We are at a pivotal moment in our collective journey to combat Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. It's heartening to see the recent increase in funding for research in this critical area—a testament to the global recognition of the urgent need to address and improve the many aspects of dementia-related challenges. This surge in support not only fuels innovation and advances in treatment but also amplifies the importance of early detection and intervention. At Cognes Medical Solutions, we are inspired by this momentum. Our commitment to developing groundbreaking technologies, like our SaaS screening solution Cognes, is more invigorated than ever. These tools aim to leverage machine learning to detect early signs of dementia through digital biomarkers in facial features, offering hope for earlier and more precise prognoses. We extend our deepest gratitude to the research community, funding partners, and everyone dedicated to this cause. Together, we are paving the way for a future where dementia can be identified and addressed more effectively, improving the quality of life for individuals and their families worldwide. Let’s continue to support and celebrate these advancements. The path forward is bright, and your engagement and support are vital to transforming the landscape of dementia care and research. #DementiaResearch #Innovation #MachineLearning #MedTech #HealthcareInnovation

Did you catch the WKYC news segment featuring a community health worker (CHW), Fonda McLaine, and her client, Nadine Head, discussing "Addressing Cardiometabolic Health Inequities by Early Prevention in the Great Lakes Region" (ACHIEVE GreatER)? This research project, funded by the National Institutes of Health, is a multi-stakeholder partnership among Better Health Partnership, Case Western Reserve University, University Hospitals, Wayne State University and the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA), operating in both Cleveland and Detroit. The goal of ACHIEVE GreatER is to reduce cardiovascular complications and hospitalizations for Black patients living in public housing, and who are at risk of heart disease, by improving blood pressure, lipid, and glucose targets. The project, which seeks to determine the impact grassroots efforts can have to address cardiovascular health disparities, pays for community health workers, nurses and care coordinators to work with clients living in CMHA units and coordinate their care with clinical providers and other community resources. Better Health Partnership (BHP) is partnering with University Hospitals to offer a sustainable model for funding CHWs beyond the 5-year grant cycle via the Better Health Pathways HUB.

Have you ever wondered why it's so hard for nonprofit organizations to work together, share resources, and form partnerships? A recent survey asked this very question, and the responses were quite insightful. Some of the reasons given were differing missions and goals, limited resources, communication challenges, lack of trust, and power imbalances. It's a bit ironic, isn't it? In an industry dedicated to helping others, organizations often find themselves guarding their own little slice of the pie. But here's the good news – it doesn't always have to be that way! There are many wonderful organizations out there that are willing to lend a hand, share their knowledge, and offer assistance. And for that, we are truly grateful. Speaking of which, there's one local organization that deserves a special shout-out: Thrive Alabama. Led by the amazing Mary Elizabeth Marr, this organization has been an absolute gem. While their mission aligns with ours to some extent, they have gone above and beyond to support us with their kindness and expertise. So, if you're a Huntsville resident in need of medical care and don't know where to turn, Thrive Alabama is the place to start your search. Here's a glimpse into their mission and values: https://lnkd.in/gxbEqVev Let's spread the word about Thrive Alabama and organizations like them that truly embody the spirit of collaboration and compassion.

What is civic health? What does it look like? Why is it important? And how does strong civic health benefit Nebraskans as a whole? Here's Nancy Petitto on what our next civic health director will be doing. ›› https://lnkd.in/g8QcAsaZ

When I think about ways to support families living with dementia, I think about respite programs for caregivers, high quality home care for individuals living with a diagnosis and increased funding for cutting edge research for Alzheimer's and related dementia. Public policy is a way to ensure that research, care and services are expanded for all Americans. Did you know the Alzheimer's Bypass Budget and the National Alzheimer's Project Act are both set to sunset in 2025? There are two bills (S. 133 and S. 134) that would allow the momentum for funding, increased care and direct services for individuals impacted by dementia to continue. Raise your voice today in support of the National Alzheimer's Project Reauthorization Act and the Alzheimer's Accountability and Investment Act! The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration has an easy way to connect with your elected official and voice your support. Being an advocate can begin with the simple step of completing an online form. Consider the power your voice can have today for families tomorrow. #ENDFTD #endalz
