Detecting Dementia: Technology, Access, and the Law

November 16, 2020

Advances in neuroimaging, genetics, and mobile health apps are creating unprecedented opportunities to detect subtle brain changes that may predict the onset of Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia.

This panel will explore technological innovations in dementia detection, and their ethical, social, and legal implications.
