• In the CXO Talks podcast, PharmaShots spoke with Ali Jannati, Director of Cognitive Science at Linus Health. Ali eloquently highlighted Linus’ journey to becoming a leader in digital brain health through its innovative digital cognitive assessment platform

• He emphasized the importance of digital biomarkers in evaluating brain function by capturing subtle nuances and response latencies, which provide valuable insights. These biomarkers play a critical role in the early detection of mild cognitive impairment, which can progress into serious neurodegenerative conditions

• Ali also discussed the recent AD/PD conference, where Linus presented two posters from separate clinical studies. These studies evaluated Linus’ digital health solutions for identifying early indicators of cognitive and motor impairment
