Abstract
En 中文
A European Task Force has recently developed and published the concept and protocols for the setup of the innovative health offer of Brain Health Services for the secondary prevention of dementia and cognitive impairment (dBHS). dBHS are outpatient health care facilities where adult persons can find an assessment of their risk of developing cognitive impairment and dementia, have their risk level and contributing factors communicated using appropriate language supported by adequate communication tools, can decide to participate to programs for personalized risk reduction if at higher risk, and benefit from cognitive enhancement interventions. This health offer is distinct from that of currently active memory clinics. The ultimate aim of dBHS is to extend healthy life, free from cognitive impairment. Here, we (i) discuss the pertinent opportunities and challenges for those persons who want to benefit from dBHS, professionals, and wider society, (ii) describe the concepts, protocols, organizational features, and patient journeys of some currently active dBHS in Europe, and (iii) argue in favor of the business case for dBHS in Europe.
