Brook Health, Linus Health partner for cognitive care assessment
Brook Health, an AI-enabled remote patient care company, announced it is collaborating with brain-focused health tech company Linus Health, to allow patients to be screened, assessed and sent home with a treatment strategy for cognitive issues on the same day.
The combination of Linus Health’s advanced digital cognitive assessment tools with Brook Health’s remote care platform, aims to empower primary care physicians, making early detection of mild cognitive impairment, a forerunner of dementia, as standard as other preventive screenings.
The companies say primary care providers can offer specialist-level cognitive care without the need for immediate referrals. The plan is backed by direct access to a 24/7 remote clinical care team.
“This collaboration addresses a major healthcare concern with a solution that starts where healthcare coordination needs to happen, with the primary care physician,” Oren Nissim, CEO and cofounder of Brook Health, said in a statement.
“By providing both assessment tools and immediate treatment options, we’re transforming how cognitive care is delivered, especially benefiting those in areas with limited access to specialists. This represents a major step forward in our mission to provide care that treats the whole person, not simply a single condition.”
David Bates, CEO and cofounder of Linus Health, asserted that his company’s collaboration with Brook Health allows it to deliver early, personalized cognitive care, seamlessly blending early detection with ongoing tailored interventions and monitoring.
