Brain Health, Dementia Care, and Caregiving Education Hub
We’ve expanded our brain health resources to make evidence-based, accessible information available to clinicians, trainees, patients, and caregivers. Raising awareness of dementia and brain health reinforces our commitment to ensuring that all patients—especially women—receive comprehensive, high-quality care.
Our educational fact sheets and infographics cover topics such as the cognitive effects of aging and menopause, the role of lifestyle and environmental factors in dementia risk, caregiving challenges, and emerging innovations like AI in diagnosis and care.
With a new case of dementia diagnosed every four seconds worldwide, according to the World Health Organization, it’s clear that one-size-fits-all solutions fall short. Advances in prevention, early diagnosis, and personalized treatment now make it possible to manage symptoms and help people maintain a higher quality of life for longer.
