Predicting Cognitive Performance from Lifestyle Choices: A New Study in PLOS One. Cognitive health is critical to our overall well-being, influencing everything from professional success to life expectancy. But how do lifestyle factors like sleep, exercise, and social habits shape our cognitive abilities? In a study of over 10,000 participants, Dr. Emily Nichols, PhD, Georgia Nelson, Dr. Conor Wild, and Dr. Adrian Owen OBE, FRS, PhD explored how combinations of lifestyle factors predict cognitive performance using Creyos tasks to measure cognitive function and advanced machine-learning techniques. Key findings include: ✅ Regular sleep (7–8 hours per night) supports better cognitive performance. ✅ Aerobic exercise and social engagement are strongly linked to cognitive health. ✅ Personal combinations of lifestyle choices uniquely predict outcomes in different cognitive domains (e.g., memory vs. reasoning). While no single lifestyle choice can guarantee improved cognition, the growing understanding of what affects cognition leads to better ways to protect brain health. 📖 Read the full study here: https://hubs.li/Q02_PSjF0 #CognitiveHealth #LifestyleMatters #BrainHealth #MachineLearning

💡 In a recent Forbes article, Robert Pearl, M.D. offers valuable insights into how we can differentiate the real potential of AI in healthcare from the hype surrounding it. He proposes three questions important in evaluating AI tools critically: - Does the technology truly improve patient care? - Is it reliable across diverse clinical situations? - Does it provide tangible, evidence-backed results? Drawing on examples from both past and current AI systems, Dr. Pearl emphasizes the importance of ensuring that these tools align with clinical needs and enhance real-world decision-making. 🧠 AI and machine learning systems are highly effective at processing large datasets to deliver evidence-backed, quantitative clinical insights—such as Creyos's dementia screener, which uses hundreds of thousands of data points to predict cognitive impairment in patients. For a deeper understanding of these questions and the guidance they provide in navigating AI-innovation in healthcare, read the article here: https://hubs.li/Q02-MBdt0

🕒 Beyond the MoCA Test: How to Improve Early Dementia Detection 🎯 The MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment) is a widely-used tool to detect cognitive impairment, but what are its limitations in detecting age-related decline especially as we hone in on the importance of early detection? A study comparing the MoCA and Creyos tests found that patients near the MoCA cutoff—classified as borderline—could be more confidently identified as cognitively impaired or unimpaired using a brief set of Creyos tasks (Sternin, Burns, & Owen, 2019). Clinically, using a more sensitive test enables earlier detection of cognitive impairment, facilitating timely treatment and potentially slowing disease progression. Explore how modern assessments complement, and go beyond, traditional tools like the MoCA in this article: https://hubs.li/Q02-LWMY0 and read the comparative study here: https://hubs.li/Q02-LZBh0.

🔍 The Future of Neurology: Enhancing Cognitive Care 🧠 📈 MCI and dementia are on the rise in the US, influenced by lifestyle, systemic issues, and comorbidities. This rise in prevalence highlights the need for improved standards in dementia assessment and care, as traditional tests often impose significant burdens, rely on provider interpretation, and restrict patient access. For neurologists, using innovative digital tools provide objective, efficient, and reliable measurements, supporting better patient outcomes. - Strengthen diagnostic decisions with modern cognitive assessments. - Simplify workflows and reimbursements with EHR-ready tools. - Ensure equitable access while boosting financial sustainability. From early detection to long-term management, cognitive care is vital to addressing rising dementia rates and supporting underserved communities.

💡 How does the U.S. compare to other high-income countries in primary care? A new report from The Commonwealth Fund examines primary care across 11 high-income countries, offering valuable insights on access, quality, and affordability. While the U.S. excels in some areas, there are gaps, particularly in accessibility and decentralized care. Key strategies to help close these gaps in access are to implement digital tools that enable telehealth and to support more comprehensive services at a primary care level. 🔍 Dive into the full report and read more on the strategies to enhance primary care systems: https://hubs.li/Q02-0VDS0

Is your organization ready to embrace the shift to Merit-Based Incentive Payment Systems (MIPS)? Value-Based Care focuses on delivering high-quality, cost-effective care, with models like MIPS rewarding healthcare providers for achieving these goals. 📊 A key component of quality care is Measurement-Based Care (MBC), which uses objective measures to guide treatment decisions. Digital tools play a vital role in providing these insights, enhancing both the patient experience and practice efficiency. 🔍 Explore how innovative, measurement-based digital tools are driving the transformation to Value-Based Care: https://hubs.li/Q02-0GR40
