Fellow Americans 😉 and #Alzheimers warriors 🧠💪, let’s get this thing over the finish line! Click here to tell your Congress people that we want this Bill passed this year!

New treatments that can slow #Alzheimers progression could provide significant value across society, with even greater benefits when treatment starts earlier, according to new USC Schaeffer research. schaeffer.usc.edu/research/e…

Students, postdocs & early career researchers, submit your abstracts for AAIC Neuroscience Next, Feb. 15-18. Present your work to peers and leaders in the field and help build the future of dementia research. Learn more: alz.org/NeuroscienceNext. #AAICNeuro
That was the best discussion! Loved how @lennyshallcross is pushing the field with comparisons to other therapeutic areas… we should fight harder for #access to innovative #diagnostics and #therapeutics - the data is clear… #earlydetection matters! @WorldDementia #LausanneXIII
Good to see Council member @PhylFerrell at #LausanneXIII. Access to approved Alzheimer’s treatments came up more than once, a question WDC executive director @lennyshallcross takes on in his recent Policy Dispatch, “Where has all the anger gone?” bit.ly/4rZhhJO
Wrapped up #LausanneXIII with a fascinating discussion on #AI and predictive technologies as we move earlier in #Alzheimers research and treatment. @CEOi_Alz
So much progress in #bloodbiomarker utilization just in the last year! Thank you to #LausanneXIII for hosting such a great panel! @CEOi_Alz #DAC @DavosAlzheimers #healthsystempreparedness #accuratediagnosis

Your gut may have more to do with your brain than you think.
BrightFocus Foundation Alzheimer's Disease Research grant recipient Dr. Miguel Moutinho is studying how gut bacteria and niacin production may affect brain health.
His teams' research could point to an entirely new way of treating Alzheimer's disease.

Packed house today at #LausanneXIII - fascinating discussion on the #BrainEconomy and the cost of the disease for employers. But most importantly, “we must never lose sight of the $400,000 that an individual patient and their family are facing.” @CEOi_Alz
Ideas generated in real time, this is what #LausanneXIII is all about! Let’s expand the #DAC #brainhealthnavigator program to #symptom management and #caregiver support using reimbursable @CMSGov codes for #chroniccaremanagement @CEOi_Alz @DavosAlzheimers
What’s coming next? Panel on emerging therapies - but all at different stages, #tau therapies are still years away, but a device could be right around the corner. @cognitotx data scheduled as a late-breaker at @CTADconference in October! 🤞🤞🤞#LausanneXIII @CEOi_Alz
Excellent panel at #LausanneXIII on the reality of the adoption of #innovation in #Alzheimers disease. Approval is not sufficient, we must redesign workflows for efficiency and equity, and understand the entire patient #diagnostic journey @CEOi_Alz #DAC #healthsystempreparedness
Excellent panel on #healthsystempreparedness at #LausanneXIII including how Korea and China have invested in the diagnostic journey well in advance of #treatments being available @CEOi_Alz @DavosAlzheimers
French Health Minister, Dr. Nora Berry, addresses #LausanneXIII with a focus on the patient and action… “another declaration is not enough.” @CEOi_Alz

When Congress enabled Medicare coverage for routine mammograms, screening rates soared & breast cancer deaths fell. This is a “mammogram moment” for Alzheimer’s. Tell Congress to make detection the standard in care by supporting the bipartisan #ASAPAct. bit.ly/442ieIq

I’m so excited and hopeful about this new partnership between @alzassociation & @SpecialOlympics. This will be so helpful to families with special needs, as well as so many family members! 💜 alz.org/news/2026/alzheimers…
