Innovations in Healthcare: The Cutting Edge of Cognitive Assessments

In this episode, we delve into the cutting-edge advancements in cognitive assessments. Our host, Christopher Habig, welcomes Tom O'Neill, the CEO of Cognivue, to Healthcare Americana. Together, they explore the pressing questions of how we can improve healthcare practices and whether we should embrace new innovations just because they are available.The pair addresses the growing concern that our bodies are often outliving our minds, leading to a rise in cognitive impairments, including mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease. Tom sheds light on the transformation of cognitive assessments, which traditionally relied on outdated paper-and-pencil tests. Cognivue, on the other hand, offers a game-like approach to cognitive evaluation. The podcast episode highlights the importance of cognitive assessments not only as a diagnostic tool but also as a means to educate patients about modifiable risk factors, such as lifestyle, exercise, and diet, which can significantly impact brain health. Tom emphasizes the need for a collaborative approach in addressing cognitive health, combining innovative medications and lifestyle changes to combat conditions like dementia and Alzheimer's.More on Freedom Healthworks & FreedomDocSubscribe at https://healthcareamericana.com/episodes/More on Tom O'Neill & CognivueFollow Healthcare Americana:Instagram & LinkedIN
