Brain Care Ireland (BCI), located in the Research and Innovation Centre in NUI Galway, invites Pharmacists and suitably qualified Health Care Professionals to become Brain Care Training Consultants using BCI’s Telemedicine products for Central Nervous System Disorders including Alzheimer’s in Ireland today
BCI’s new technology approach is to bring Mental Health therapies to the community. The increased incidence of Central Nervous System Disorders including Alzheimer’s, Stroke, Depression, TBI, PTSD, Meningitis, Senior Ageing has led BCI to launch a county wide home care package initiative in the Republic, Northern Ireland and Great Britain following a trial rollout in Galway.
James Lee, Chief Scientific Officer of Brain Care Ireland, explains: “A person with mild cognitive impairment is at an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's or another dementia; Brain Care Ireland’s 3 minute memory screening can help detect participants with mild cognitive impairment and brings with it all the benefits of early detection for remediation or rehabilitation.”
BCI is also looking at enabling a laptop, iPads or apps to be able to detect user’s temperature, pulse, BP, Cholesterol, Depressive feelings etc at home with dashboard management alerting an ambulance. Motion detector technologies can also be incorporated. BCI view these solutions as key to keeping long-stay care to a minimum and avoiding the cost of in-home care.
