Company also a finalist for Digital Health Awards to be announced on opening night
BOSTON, Oct. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Linus Health will discuss its breakthroughs in the early detection of dementia at HLTH Event 2024 taking place Oct. 20-23 in Las Vegas. The company also is a finalist in the Longevity category in the prestigious Digital Health Hub Foundation Digital Health Awards, with the winners announced at the Grand Finale on the opening night of the conference.
‘Brainiacs’ panel: Hold on to your neurons!
John Showalter, MD, MSIS, chief strategy officer of Linus Health, will be part of the HLTH “Brainiacs” panel, focused on the latest advancements in neurological care innovation. Showalter will explain how primary care physicians and neurologists can leverage innovative digital tools that can make early detection of mild cognitive impairment, the precursor of dementia, as routine as any other preventive screening. This approach enables earlier interventions that can delay–and even prevent–the onset of dementia. The panel is moderated by Abby Miller Levy, managing partner and co-founder of Primetime Partners. It will take place from 11:30 am-12:10 pm PT on Monday, Oct. 21, at the Gallery Stage.
“I look forward to a lively conversation with my fellow panelists as we dive headfirst into the world of brain health innovation, especially as it relates to how care models need to change as the population ages, what can be done to address equity gaps, and how digital technology can help,” Showalter said. “We’ve seen lots of hope and momentum in this space, and the year ahead will only bring more of that.”
