Digital Therapeutics for Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia.
Our mission is to restore patients' independence and quality of life by detecting and treating dementia with digital technologies.
Brain+ is addressing one of the largest healthcare challenges of our time, namely dementia. Currently, 1 in 3 seniors die with/of dementia in the US and globally 50 million people are diagnosed with dementia – and unfortunately, this figure is expected to more than triple to 152 million people by 2050. As we generally live longer and the prevention and treatment of the most common causes of death such as cancer and heart disease are getting more efficient, dementia is expected to become a leading cause of death by 2030 and is already the leading cause of death for women in the UK.
Dementia puts an enormous emotional burden on the patients and their loved ones as cognitive abilities deteriorate, behaviours change, and independence is lost. It is also a massive and increasing financial burden on society and our health care systems with an accumulated global cost upwards of 1 trillion USD globally today and expected to double to 2 trillion USD within decades, and eventually expected to eclipse the cost of cancer and heart disease.
