A sampling of some of the most noteworthy recent studies published by Linus Health clinicians and researchers includes:

The Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, November 2024: Detecting functional impairment with the Digital Clock and Recall. Linus Health Digital Clock and Recall (DCR^™) assessment delivers a clinically meaningful evaluation of functional impairment and accurately identifies which patients require more comprehensive care, such as advanced diagnostic testing, specialist referrals, and care partner support.

Scientific Reports, September 2024: Digital speech hearing screening using a quick novel mobile hearing impairment assessment: an observational correlation study. The authors concluded that Linus Health's digital hearing screening tool quickly, efficiently, and accurately identifies early signs of speech hearing impairment compared to lengthier audiometric tests.

Frontiers in Neurology, June  2024: Towards a lifelong personalized brain health program: empowering individuals to define, pursue, and monitor meaningful outcomes. The article describes a technology-enabled, scalable approach to guide clinical decisions and outcome evaluations about brain health that effectively incorporate patients' treatment priorities.

Alzheimer's & Dementia: Diagnosis, Assessment, & Disease Monitoring, February 2024: Clinical classification of memory and cognitive impairment with multimodal digital biomarkers. The article demonstrates the great utility of multimodal assessment with the DCR for identifying verbal memory impairment as confirmed by the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT).

Alzheimer's Research & Therapy, January 2024: Digital Clock and Recall is superior to the Mini‑Mental State Examination for the detection of mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia. Results of a clinical trial show that the DCR outperforms the most commonly used paper-based assessment in detecting early mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia and with less ethnic bias.

Speaking Engagements. John Showalter, MD, MSIS, chief strategy officer of Linus Health, was invited to discuss breakthroughs in the early detection of dementia at the HLTH Event 2024 in Las Vegas. Participating in the "Brainiacs" panel, Showalter explained how primary care physicians and neurologists can leverage innovative digital tools that can make early detection of mild cognitive impairment, the precursor of dementia, as routine as any other preventive screening.

In 2024, Ali Jannati, MD, PhD, director of cognitive science at Linus Health, presented the company's latest research on concurrent identification of cognitive impairment and likely amyloid-beta status on PET using the DCR in a featured research panel at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC) in Philadelphia. Stina Saunders, PhD, personalized medicine lead at Linus Health, delivered an AAIC presentation focusing on the company's electronic person-specific outcome measure tool. In addition, Linus Health scientists delivered 10 poster presentations at AAIC. More than 14,000 attendees joined the world's largest dementia conference for its robust scientific program.

Linus Health leaders were also invited to deliver 4 unique poster presentations at the 17th annual Clinical Trials on Alzheimer's Disease conference in Madrid, Spain. The global conference attracts over 2,000 leading experts onsite and online to discuss the latest therapeutic advances in Alzheimer's disease.

"Our many achievements and growing industry recognition reflect an emerging consensus that the best clinical pathway to help more people prevent the progression of dementia and other forms of cognitive impairment is through promotion of brain health, prevention of disease, early detection, and evidence-based lifestyle modifications," said Linus Health Co-Founder and CEO David Bates, PhD.
