2016 Connected Health Symposium - Alzheimer’s Case Study
Alzheimer’s Case Study: Connecting Caregivers, Patients and Clinical Trials
Too often, those with Alzheimer’s disease are not adequately involved in the research process. Through Galaxy, an online gateway, patients, caregivers and people at high risk for the disease can share their data and preferences with researchers, to speed clinical trial recruitment and help accelerate treatment. Hear about groundbreaking digital technologies and mobile engagement tools, including a self tracker for cognitive vitality for caregivers, a virtual intervention for depression, an online tool transforming the way patients connect to clinical trials and an automated decision tree to help families in crisis work through issues like “is it time to get help?” and “is it time to take away the car?”
