Collaborative Efforts to Enhance Cognitive Health Services through AI Technology

AI Meets Brain Health: League and Linus Health Collaboration

In a groundbreaking partnership, Linus Health, an innovative AI-powered brain health company, is collaborating with League, a leading consumer experience platform in healthcare. This collaboration aims to improve access to online cognitive screening and personalized care through private health plans across the United States. The announcement was made during the Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC) taking place in Toronto.

Linus Health stands out for its commitment to pioneering early detection of cognitive impairments, making it easier for individuals to receive the help they need. With this new alliance, health plan portals powered by League will incorporate Linus Health's advanced digital cognitive assessments along with educational materials addressing dementia, brain wellness, and suggested lifestyle modifications. Additionally, users will have access to a broad ecosystem of care that includes services from blood testing for Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers to telehealth consultations and participation in clinical trials.

This strategic integration empowers health plans to proactively identify at-risk members, enhance cognitive wellness, and provide tailored care options. According to David Bates, PhD, CEO and co-founder of Linus Health, the goal is clear: “To effectively change the trajectory of Alzheimer's and other dementias, we must first identify individuals who are at risk, but often go unnoticed, and connect them early to the vital resources that can make a real difference.” This approach emphasizes the importance of early detection and intervention, particularly in a healthcare climate where cognitive impairment often goes unrecognized.

A startling statistic highlights the need for this initiative: approximately 92% of patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a precursor to dementia, are undiagnosed. This leaves millions without access to early intervention strategies that may help delay or even prevent the progression of dementia. While traditional MCI detection mandates in-person screenings followed by time-consuming evaluations, Linus Health harnesses the power of AI to offer remote assessments, identifying early warning signs of MCI before cognitive symptoms manifest.

League's CEO, Michael Serbinis, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership: “This collaboration offers an opportunity for payers to proactively address the escalating costs and profound impact of cognitive decline. By integrating Linus Health's advanced MCI and dementia detection capabilities within League’s AI-driven consumer experience platform, we provide health plans with a scalable solution to identify at-risk members earlier and enable timely interventions. This, in turn, will lead to significant improvements in member outcomes and population health management, while delivering unprecedented benefits to improve the lives of millions.”

Attendees of the AAIC conference are encouraged to visit Linus Health at booth #1219 to learn more about the digital breakthroughs being presented. The research showcased at the conference will cover AI-driven insights into cognition, motor function, and speech, which ultimately aims to expedite study recruitment and foster access to personalized brain health services.
