Dr. Gregg Day:

Hello, this is Gregg Day from Mayo Clinic, and welcome to this special conversation. Today's episode was recorded live at the Brain Health Hub during this year's AAN Annual Meeting in Chicago. Because it was recorded on site, the audio may sound a little different from our usual episodes, but bear with us because it's absolutely worth it. In this conversation, our panel explores the evolving landscape of brain health, including growing use of wearables, digital tools, direct to consumer tests, and artificial intelligence. We discuss how neurologists can help patients to navigate brain age scores, consumer health data, and emerging technologies while integrating brain health into everyday clinical care. This panel discussion is totally aligned with AAN's mission of bringing brain health to all, and on point with the release of brainhealth.com, AAN's new website, bringing together our resources for clinical practice and for research in this space. We hope you enjoy this panel discussion as much as we enjoyed recording it.

We appreciate people joining this special session on integrating, educating, and implementing systems of care around brain health for the practicing neurologist. I've got a great team of practicing neurologists here as well. We're looking forward to sharing some of this discussion with lots of opportunities for questions as well.
