Burke Rehabilitation's Chief Medical Officer, Senior Vice President, Dr. Mooyeon Oh-Park, led a groundbreaking clinical trial with @CatchU_b4_UFall ®, a digital health app that helps identify fall risk in older adults using just a smartphone. Supported by @WestchesterBiz’s WIN program, the study showed CatchU is as accurate as traditional lab tests—making fall risk screening more accessible and affordable. Read more: bit.ly/3GCTGNi

The goal of the 5-Cog assessment is to improve the diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment & #dementia & direct people to the appropriate care & supportive services. New research finds the test effective in a historically underdiagnosed patient population. montefiore.org/body.cfm?id=1…

Big news! 🎉 Congress has announced a $100M increase for Alzheimer’s and dementia research funding at the NIH for fiscal year 2024! This includes $34M to fund the #BOLDAlzheimerAct, which strengthens the Alzheimer’s public health infrastructure in communities across the nation. bit.ly/496Ks3S
Thank you to our dedicated volunteers who have advocated for these increases and to our bipartisan congressional champions for their support and commitment. 💜 Together, we’re empowering our communities, accelerating research and improving dementia care.

Einstein received a five-year, $10.9 million grant from the @NIH to study whether remote neuropsychological testing can substitute for in-person office visits when assessing whether people have #Alzheimer’s disease or other #dementias. bit.ly/3Rti99l
So incredibly honored to present my scientific findings and @CatchU_b4_UFall at this mornings' Professional Aging Network (PAN) meeting in Rockland County today!

#DYK social dancing engages the brain at a higher level than walking or bicycling? It requires learning new sequences, working w/ a partner, & "thinking & doing" at the same time—which Dr. Mirnova Ceide says can help prevent cognitive decline. @CNN @EinsteinMed
Honored and thrilled that @CatchU_b4_UFall was featured in this year's Westchester Economic Development Guide.
Special thanks to Dr. Marsha Gordon; Bridget Gibbons; Deborah Schondorf Novick, CFA; Luiz Aragon; The Business Council of Westchester and WIN program.
