Fantastic to see this important topic highlighted in a plenary session by Prof. Ricardo Nitrini @alzassociation #AAIC21. ‘Traditional’ dementia assessment tools are biased towards Western, educated individuals. One size does not fit all.
Check out the poster I'll be presenting at @alzassociation #AAIC21 this week. Delighted to present my findings at my first international conference!
