Preventing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease is apriority for many. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) there are currently more than 55 million people suffering from dementia worldwide, and nearly 10 million new cases each year. It is also currently the seventh leading cause of death and one of the major causes of disability and dependency among older people globally.

To speak about this I’m speaking withthe Vice Presidentof Clinical and Medical Affairs for Cognivue, Dr Ernest Fung. Ernest is committed to Alzheimer's prevention through cognitive health promotion and early detection. Cognivue provides cognitive assessment tools to healthcare providersfor the early detection of cognitive impairment, allowing patients to address modifiable risk factors sooner.
