Ep06: Driving Brain Health to End Alzheimer's Globally

In this episode, we feature a recording of a roundtable discussion that was hosted by the Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative at the World Economic Forum on January 16, 2024. George Vradenburg, Founding Chairman of the Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative, led a discussion with leaders in government, industry, academic, and global communities to share cutting-edge strategies and innovations for accelerating Brain Health globally. This episode is a bit longer than many of the others in this series, and it is time well-spent. It is filled with insightful conversations and groundbreaking initiatives aimed at driving down the cost of dementia care, preventing cognitive impairment through lifestyle modifications, and advancing early treatment for Alzheimer's. From revolutionary vaccine developments to cutting-edge lifestyle interventions, this episode brings you the most up-to-date information on the prevention and treatment of cognitive decline.
