DESCRIPTION:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related dementias are a growing co
 ncern in Canada\, impacting people’s health and raising demands on the Can
 adian healthcare system.\n\nWhile there is no cure\, numerous therapies ai
 ming to prevent\, delay onset\, and/or slow progression of this disease ar
 e bring investigated. \n\nRecently\, the first therapy targeting a definin
 g pathology of Alzheimer’s disease was approved in the US by the FDA and i
 t is currently under review by Health Canada. Unfortunately\, Canada lacks
  infrastructures that would be needed for timely diagnosis and treatment o
 f eligible patients. What can be done to address this?\n\nThis webinar dra
 ws on key findings from The Conference Board of Canada’s report Paving a P
 ath for Value-Based Dementia Care in Canada: Focus on Early Alzheimer’s Di
 sease (to be released in mid-January 2022). Hosted by The Conference Board
  of Canada’s Isabella Moroz\, Senior Research Associate in the Health Focu
 s Area \, the session will engage a panel of clinician champions\, policy 
 experts\, and people with lived experience in a dynamic discussion on this
  timely topic.\n\nWebinar highlights:\n\n\n	What are the barriers and enabl
 ers of access to innovative treatments for AD in Canada?\n	How can access t
 o diagnostic technologies be improved and made more equitable?\n	What polic
 y directives are needed to enable timely diagnosis and early intervention?

  Research Unit at the 51³Ô¹ÏÍøCentre for Studies in Aging\, Roger Marple\,
