AI, Wearables & Your Brain: What Helps Today and what is the state of treating dementia

In this Faces of Digital Health episode Dr. David Dodick, Chief Science and Medical Officer at the Atria Health Institute and Co-Chair of the Atria Research Institute talks about brain health, dementia prevention, the rapidly evolving science of Alzheimer’s, and how digital tools and AI are transforming care. We also cover why women face higher Alzheimer’s risk, the microvasculature’s role in cognition, and the biggest leap in migraine treatment: CGRP-targeting therapies. A must-watch if you’re curious about prevention, personalized risk, and which consumer tech is actually useful today. Dr. David Dodick trained at the Mayo Clinic and served on the faculty there for more than three decades. At the Mayo Clinic, he founded the Neurology Residency Program, the Headache Fellowship Program, the Sports Neurology and Concussion Program, the Migraine and Headache Program, and co-founded the Vascular Neurology/Stroke Program. What you’ll learn: 1. How much dementia is realistically preventable—and how to lower your risk 2. Why amyloid ≠ destiny, and what “biological vs. clinical” Alzheimer’s means 3. The role of sleep, hearing, blood pressure, metabolic health, and social connection 4. Smart wearables that matter (AFib, BP, CGM) and what’s just hype 5. How AI “diagnostic orchestrators” could supercharge clinicians and empower patients 6. Migraine red flags (when to go to the ER) and the CGRP revolution in treatment
