Individuals experiencing brain aging, cognitive decline, and dementia are
currently confronted with several more complex challenges due to the current
Sars-Cov-2 pandemic as compared to younger and cognitively healthy people. During
the first six months of the pandemic, we are experiencing critical issues related
to the management of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia. The evolving,
highly contagious global viral spread has created a pressure test of
unprecedented proportions for the existing brain health care infrastructure and
related services for management, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Social
distancing and lock-down measures are catalyzing and accelerating a technological
paradigm shift, away from a traditional model of brain healthcare focused on late
symptomatic disease stages and towards optimized preventive strategies to slow
brain aging and increase resilience at preclinical asymptomatic stages. Digital
technologies transform global healthcare for accessible equality of opportunities
in order to generate better outcomes for brain aging aligned with the paradigm of
preventive medicine.
