Isaac Health is a tech-enabled platform reimagining brain health and dementia care, offering timely diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management through virtual care and partnerships with leading health plans and providers.
Neurological disease remains a leading cause of illness and disability worldwide. In the United States alone, the annual economic burden of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias is now estimated at $780 billion and rising as the baby‑boomer generation ages. Yet, more than nine in ten cases of mild cognitive impairment go undiagnosed and over 20 states have so-few dementia specialists that public health experts are warning of emerging “dementia neurology deserts.”
The consequences are stark: patients miss the window to benefit from disease‑modifying therapies and clinical‑trial enrollment, and caregivers in turn are shouldering an unsustainable load. As providers and payers seek to better manage these patients, powerful tailwinds are emerging to reduce this burden (GUIDE, HCC V28) — yet critical gaps persist. The combination of these clinical, financing, and pharmaceutical dynamics has created an opening for a neurologist‑led virtual neurology platform to expand access to timely diagnosis and evidence‑based, guideline‑level treatment that links patients to research.
