How important is the slogan “prevention is better than cure” in cognitive issues, and to what extent can people prevent disease?

One of the most important steps in the treatment of diseases is awareness of the disease. Unfortunately, in the field of cognitive sciences, especially Alzheimer’s disease, they show their symptoms when there is no possibility of treatment. In fact, the work is over. But doctors believe that the first symptoms appear 10 to 15 years ago, but no one pays attention to them. So in cognitive diseases, especially Alzheimer’s, it is very important to prevent because there is no cure. With a healthy lifestyle and preventive activities, the onset of the disease can be delayed
After being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, the disease can be delayed by doing certain activities, not doing some other activities, and doing mental rehabilitation programs. For example, a person who may develop Alzheimer’s disease at the age of 55 or 60 can pass the disease on to the age of 70 or 80 by preventing it from occurring. This can save a lot of financial, emotional and care costs for families and the community.

In general, experts believe that preventive measures to avoid Alzheimer’s disease should be started by all people from an early age and before old age. Lifestyle modifications including healthy eating, regular exercise, memory enhancement, learning and cognition, engaging in enjoyable and satisfying social activities, and mental and social health care protect individuals against Alzheimer’s disease.

Preventive measures to prevent cognition of these people and the optimal functioning of their nervous system with the help of artificial intelligence technologies in the field of health, can greatly help the cognitive health of these people and disease control.

What are your plans for developing your business?

Currently, the dominant focus of health complexes in society is on increasing the age of the population. Because only 10% of the population includes people over 60 years old. But that number will rise to 20 to 25 percent in the next ten years; Therefore, in the future, we will have people at this age whose needs must be met. For example, one of the main needs of these people is the needs of the cognitive domain. Doctors usually take several types of blood tests from these people, but do not provide cognitive care. Given that we intend to enter the field of cognition and the population is growing and the needs of the population will also increase, we are currently trying to gain more market share. In this direction, we will have collaborations with influential people so that in the near future, as the population ages, we will be active as the main player in this field.

How important are cognitive issues?
