BrainHealth works as an extension of your practice
BrainHealth is a comprehensive telehealth platform designed to support patients with cognitive concerns or those at risk for cognitive decline, from initial assessment through ongoing care. We partner with neurologists and primary care providers to expedite the clinical workup process, offering rapid risk assessments, cognitive evaluations, blood-based biomarkers, and rule-out labs.
Our efficient screening and triage system helps reduce wait times and accelerates diagnosis, potentially enabling faster access to treatments like monoclonal antibodies.
Following the initial workup (typically covered by insurance), patients can opt into our self-pay membership plan, which includes neurologist-designed brain health education, lifestyle coaching, APOE testing, and information about clinical trials.
Our expert BrainHealth Educators, with backgrounds in healthcare or nursing, are your dedicated partners in brain wellness. Rigorously trained in cognitive assessments, neurological lifestyle interventions, and HIPAA compliance, they're available at your patient’s convenience via chat, video, or voice call.
In a field where specialist wait times can reach 12 months, BrainHealth Educators provide immediate, personalized testing and support. They're not just filling gaps in neurological care – they're revolutionizing it.

FAQs
BrainHealth is designed for patients at risk of or in the early stages of cognitive decline. Our protocols are optimized for patients with MMSE scores >18. We also offer a parallel track for care partners to enhance patient support. Our evidence-based lifestyle program integrates preventive neurology best practices, delivered via our telehealth platform to ensure broad accessibility.
During our comprehensive risk assessment, we may identify patients requiring immediate medical intervention or those with advanced dementia unsuitable for our virtual telehealth program. In such cases, we provide appropriate recommendations for alternative care pathways.
Our program integrates best practices from multiple evidence-based interventions, including the landmark FINGER (Finnish Geriatric Intervention Study to Prevent Cognitive Impairment and Disability) trial and other notable academic programs. The FINGER study (NCT01041989), a two-year randomized controlled trial, demonstrated that a multidomain lifestyle intervention (encompassing diet, exercise, cognitive training, vascular risk monitoring, and social engagement) can significantly slow cognitive decline and improve performance across various cognitive domains in at-risk populations. Building on this and other cutting-edge research, we've developed a comprehensive approach that combines the most effective elements from various scientifically validated protocols to optimize cognitive health outcomes.
The BrainHealth membership focuses on services not typically covered by traditional insurance. This includes:
1. Genetic testing, including APOE and other relevant genetic markers, with comprehensive pre- and post-test genetic counseling2. Specialty biomarker testing tailored to individual risk profiles
3. A personalized, evidence-based lifestyle modification program, including:
- Customized cognitive care plans
- Ongoing lifestyle education and coaching
- Nutritional guidance
- Physical activity recommendations
- Cognitive training exercises
- Sleep optimization strategies
- Stress management techniques
4. Access to our telehealth platform for continuous support and monitoring
Our mission is to revolutionize cognitive care delivery for the millions of patients with undiagnosed or underserved cognitive conditions facing critical access barriers. By augmenting traditional clinical workflows with tech-enabled services, we aim to expedite access to neurological care, thereby optimizing patient outcomes and potentially modifying disease trajectories.
