Preventing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease is a priority 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 with the Vice President of 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 providers for the early detection of cognitive impairment, allowing patients to address modifiable risk factors sooner. With a background in molecular diagnostics and life sciences, Ernest Fung is a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist and a diplomate of the American Board of Clinical Neuropsychology. With a career spanning over a decade, Dr. Fung has collaborated with physicians from multiple disciplines to assess and treat individuals with central nervous system (CNS) disorders.
