A Global Crisis In Brain Monitoring
- Neurodegenerative diseases: According to World Health Organization, in 2021, 57 million people had dementia worldwide. Every year, there are nearly 10 million new cases.
- Cardiovascular brain events: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17,9 million lives each year.
- Healthcare infrastructure is overloaded: standard high-field MRI is costly, slow and logistically impractical for monitoring.
- Limitations of current standards: Conventional PET and TAC tools expose patients to ionizing radiation, limiting the frequency of follow-up scans.
- Patients go unmonitored, leading to undetected deterioration, delayed interventions, and increased long-term costs for health systems.
