Identifying Patients
With Memory Loss

The primary care physician is first in line to recognize undiagnosed health issues, including brain health. Unfortunately, testing for cognitive issues can often be deprioritized due to various factors. As a result:

  • Only 1 in 5 patients aged 65-80 years said they have been screened for cognitive impairment in the past year1
  • Fewer than 33% of Medicare patients received a formal cognitive assessment at their annual wellness visit2
  • 92% of expected cases of mild cognitive impairment in Medicare patients aged 65 and older remained undiagnosed3,*

The Annual
Wellness Visit

Patients aged 65+ years should consider having a full cognitive screening performed during their annual wellness visit. Since patients may not always signal their need for cognitive testing, it is incumbent upon the primary care physician to champion a test.1,4 Despite the urgent need to start checking patients early for cognitive impairment, it can be challenging to fit this screening into the limited time available for a patient's annual wellness visit.

Barriers to cognitive assessment in primary care:

Skills

Not all primary care physicians are
trained and/or confident in evaluating
potential cognitive issues⁵

Clock icon

Time

Cognitive assessments can be time-
intensive⁶

Standards

Lack of consensus on the appropriate
tools to support the detection of
cognitive impairment⁶

With so much already on their plates, healthcare professionals need technology that will help them successfully navigate these challenges, effectively assessing cognition in a timely manner while providing trusted guidance to their patients on brain health.
