Non-invasive, portable and low-cost brain imaging: determining risk for developing dementia in primary care and supporting behaviour change to reduce risk

思维重于物质正在开发一种端到端的医疗设备，以识别患有痴呆症的高风险个人，同时他们的风险仍然可以改变，即在中年期间。随附的应用程序支持高风险个人将他们的风险降低高达一半。这项低成本、便携和非侵入性的技术结合了尖端的脑成像技术，在初级保健环境中提供个性化的药物信息，显著提高了仅基于生活方式风险因素建立的风险评分的特异性，并证明了有针对性的痴呆症预防策略的合理性。通过这种方式，思想凌驾于物质之上将驱散人们普遍持有的信念，即痴呆症是衰老的正常部分，永远无法预防，并点燃一场痴呆症预防运动。

Mind over Matter is developing an end-to-end medical device to identify individuals at high risk of developing dementia whilst their risk remains modifiable, i.e. during mid-life. The accompanying app supports high-risk individuals to reduce their risk by up to half. The low-cost, portable and non-invasive technology combines cutting-edge brain imaging techniques to deliver personalised medicine information in the primary care setting, significantly increasing the specificity of established risk scores based on lifestyle risk factors only, and justifying targeted dementia prevention strategies. In this way, Mind over Matter will dispel the commonly held belief that dementia is a normal part of ageing that can never be prevented, and ignite a dementia prevention movement.
