Patient Pathways: Cutting Through the Noise
What does “good” care really mean for someone with Alzheimer’s? How can patients and their loved ones navigate this complex journey with clarity and efficacy? Patients and providers will discuss a path forward, specifically highlighting how individuals get diagnosed earlier, move into treatment or clinical trials if appropriate and desired, and have as much time as possible for them and their care partners to plan appropriately. This high-level road map will provide a pathway for both patients and their care partners.
Surprising Clues: Using Voice, Smell, and Hearing to Detect Alzheimer’s Early
What if your senses—your voice, your hearing, even your sense of smell—could reveal the earliest signs of Alzheimer’s, long before memory loss begins? In this eye-opening session, leaders in healthcare innovation will explore how changes in everyday sensory functions are being used as powerful, non-invasive tools for early detection. Learn how speech analysis, hearing tests, and even scent-based diagnostics are offering the potential to get ahead of Alzheimer’s and new hope for earlier intervention and more personalized care.
Anything Is Possible: The Race to Be the Last Alzheimer’s Patient
This inspiring session will feature remarkable individuals who have refused to let an Alzheimer’s diagnosis define their limits—from athletic pursuits to scientific studies and global advocacy. Seeing themselves as living with—not dying with—a diagnosis, they bust the stigma and remain proactive by taking steps to be brain healthy as long as they can. Each speaker will share their personal journey and leave us with a powerful call to action for policymakers, clinicians, and the public.
