A virtual roundtable, hosted by Barry Greenberg, PhD, explored the current landscape of Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease diagnosis and barriers to timely testing and care. Dr. Greenberg was joined by Monique Nugent, MD, MPH; Van Ta Park, PhD, MPH; and Julie Zissimopoulos, PhD.In this segment of the roundtable, Dr. Greenberg further examines how systemic barriers persist even after patients may be able to secure testing and diagnosis for Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease. Access to genetic counselors may limit patients&rsquo; ability to interpret test results, and the time demands associated with Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease treatment create further burden on patients and caretakers. Dr. Nugent identifies a few short-term solutions, such as telehealth, that may reduce barriers to Alzheimer&rsquo;s care but emphasizes the need for long-term policy solutions to help patients.Watch <a href="https://urbanhealthtoday.com/post/systemic-roadblocks-accessibility-gaps-in-alzheimers-disease-diagnosis">the second segment</a> to hear more from Dr. Nugent on factors that may prohibit patients from receiving a timely Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease diagnosis, or <a href="https://urbanhealthtoday.com/tag/alzheimers-roundtable">view all segments</a> of this roundtable.
