Cognetivity Neurosciences Ltd. announced a collaboration with the Alzheimer's Society in Oman. This partnership aims to study cognitive health in patients with dementia and diabetes. The collaboration will be focused on regular monitoring of the senior population presenting to the healthcare services provided by the Omani Ministry of Health. The primary objective is to create a baseline performance of the senior population brain health using CognICA. In addition, the collaboration's aim is to investigate comorbidities such as diabetes in patients diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer's disease using big data, allowing for further development of AI models that enable risk stratification. People living with dementia often have a higher prevalence of diabetes as a comorbidity. This relationship can be attributed to shared risk factors such as age, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and vascular complications. Moreover, the presence of diabetes has been shown to accelerate cognitive decline in individuals with dementia, potentially worsening their overall prognosis and management. Understanding the interplay between these two conditions is crucial for healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care and develop tailored strategies that address both the cognitive and metabolic aspects of the individual's health. By recognizing and managing comorbidities effectively,
healthcare providers can optimize the well-being and quality of life for those affected by dementia and diabetes.
