2 Global Burden of Dementia

3 Can We Prevent the Tsunami Wave of Dementia?

4 So Far the Answer is No

5 Current A New Strategy Situation Preclinical Screening Test Current Screening Test Adapted by Drs. Dana Penney and Randall Davis from Fig 3 of Criteria For Preclinical Alzheimer s Disease, Alzheimer s Association report (2010), which in turn cites Jack C R, et al., Hypothetical model of dynamic biomarkers of the Alzheimer s pathological cascade, The Lancet, 9:1, Jan 2010, pp

6 The Impact Severe Dementia Dementia Threshold Normal Midlife Age/Time Later in life Alzheimer's Association. "Changing the Trajectory of Alzheimer's Disease." Washington DC (2010).

12 Cognitive Impairment Detection Challenge FHS Two-Method Approach The Traditional Approach Boston Process Approach Preserve traditional measures Expand test beyond single score Focus on path to final response - Value of incorrect responses

13 Logical Memory Error Measures Traditional scores None Qualitative Scores Confabulations related Intrusions related Confabulations unrelated Intrusions unrelated

25 What Else?

26 Cognitive Impairment Cognitive Health

27 Sustaining brain health across life span

28 What We Need to Do Precision Brain Health Data Science/AI

29 What It Will Take Paradigmatic Shift Dimension Current Mindset New Mindset Investment Focus Research Focus Research Scope Care Focus Healthcare Delivery Data Capture Health Information Management From Finding the cure for Alzheimer s disease and related disorders Siloed, a-priori hypothesis-driven research to find treatments for Alzheimer s diseases Isolating single or small set of factors associated with disease Diagnosing and treating dementia Stove-piped 烟道式 Healthcare Institutions In clinic, sporadic time point, highly invasive, often self reported data collection Raw, unusable cognitive and related data stored in disparate sources. To Finding how to prevent brain related disorders Understanding lifelong health and experiences of sub-populations to optimize their brain health Deploying scalable, multi-factorial solutions to diverse populations with and without disease risk Monitoring and sustaining brain health Healthcare Ecosystem Continuous, passive capture of brain related data with rich demographic metadata Networked, secure, seamless, integrated, sharable, cloud based platform made widely available

30 What We Want to Do Next Build Plug and Play System

31 Where We Want to Do It Test Platform Robustness Across Diverse Study Sites

32 What We Have Learned Secure Open Source API Device Grade Level of Use Balance Criteria Defined stakeholder value proposition Scalable Flexible & Agnostic Strong data infrastructure Easy data use/sharing
