The early recognition of Dementia with Ernest Fung

Preventing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease is a priority for
many. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) there are
currently more than 55 million people suffering from dementia
worldwide, and nearly 10 million new cases each year. It is also
currently the seventh leading cause of death and one of the major
causes of disability and dependency among older people globally.


 


To speak about this I’m speaking with the Vice President of
Clinical and Medical Affairs for Cognivue, Dr Ernest Fung. Ernest
is committed to Alzheimer's prevention through cognitive health
promotion and early detection. Cognivue provides cognitive
assessment tools to healthcare providers for the early detection
of cognitive impairment, allowing patients to address modifiable
risk factors sooner. With a background in molecular diagnostics
and life sciences, Ernest Fung is a board-certified clinical
neuropsychologist and a diplomate of the American Board of
Clinical Neuropsychology. With a career spanning over a decade,
Dr. Fung has collaborated with physicians from multiple
disciplines to assess and treat individuals with central nervous
system (CNS) disorders. To find out more about the rapid
