(PRESS RELEASE) Neurotrack, maker of innovative digital cognitive assessments, announced today that Co-founder and CEO Elli Kaplan will participate in two upcoming speaking events on developments in cognitive care and related technology.
NEHI Webinar
On October 16, 2024 at 10 am PT/1 pm ET, Elli will be a featured guest on a webinar for the Network for Excellence in Health Innovation (NEHI) entitled, Detecting Dementia: Emerging Innovations and Their Implications for American Adults and Their Health Care. Hosted by Tom Hubbard, Senior Vice President of Policy Research at NEHI, the virtual gathering will explore what these innovations mean for clinical practice and health care policy, a subject NEHI has covered in depth in a recent report.
HLTH Panel
On October 21, 2024 at 11:30 am PT, Elli will be in Las Vegas for the annual HLTH conference as part of a panel discussion called Brainiacs. Abby Miller Levy, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Primetime Partners, will guide Kaplan and other tech and healthcare leaders in a discussion of new brain health innovations, including cutting-edge diagnostics, personalized treatment plans, and care models that adapt to the needs of aging adults. This will be Elli’s third speaking engagement at HLTH.
Elli, who lost two grandparents to Alzheimer’s disease, began Neurotrack with a team of neuroscientists in 2012, determined to leverage new technology to revolutionize cognitive screening. "It is an honor to be a part of these conversations with leaders in this field, and a thrill to finally be in this moment where the latest technology and therapeutic developments bring us ever closer to a day when Alzheimer’s and other dementias become manageable chronic conditions,” she says.
Neurotrack’s clinical solutions are in use with healthcare organizations from coast to coast, and the company recently added a variety of decision support features to their offering. Elli explains, “We are laser focused on supporting the primary care providers using our tools. Experts agree there aren’t enough specialists to close detection gaps, so PCPs must take up this challenge, but many lack the confidence to diagnose dementia. Now our platform prompts them to follow established best practices so those critical next steps will become second nature, and they can diagnose and triage patients without further delay.”
