Brook Health, an AI-driven remote care provider, is partnering with Linus Health, a cognitive health technology company, to enable same-day cognitive screening, assessment, and treatment planning for patients. This collaboration integrates Linus Health’s digital cognitive assessment tools with Brook Health’s remote care platform, helping primary care physicians detect mild cognitive impairment (an early sign of dementia) as routinely as other preventive checks.
Primary care providers can now offer advanced cognitive care without immediate specialist referrals, supported by 24/7 access to a remote clinical care team. Brook Health CEO Oren Nissim says this partnership empowers primary care to coordinate cognitive health more effectively, offering both immediate assessments and treatment options, particularly benefitting those with limited access to specialists. Linus Health CEO David Bates emphasizes the partnership’s holistic, personalized approach to cognitive care, which also includes support for caregivers to address overall well-being.
Key benefits include immediate care initiation, comprehensive support through tailored cognitive care plans, and greater accessibility to quality care regardless of location, ultimately reducing patient anxiety and equipping primary care providers to manage cognitive health.
