What’s on the Horizon for Dementia Care? (And the FDA’s Decision on aducanumab) with Dr. Jason Karlawish

In his new book The Problem of Alzheimer’s, Dr. Jason Karlawish from the Penn Memory Center traces the history of a condition that impacts nearly 6 million Americans at a cost of more than $225 billion annually. These numbers may triple over the next decade. In today’s episode, Dr. Karlawish discusses potential breakthroughs in the years ahead – both pharmacologic and social – that can help us weather this storm. We also review the FDA’s controversial approval last week of aducanumab, the first new drug for Alzheimer’s in nearly two decades.
