The unmet clinical need of dementia is vast and important to address, and the dementia therapeutics of Brain+ are unique and building on the leading non-drug therapy in the field. Based on my experience, I believe Brain+ has real potential for leadership in digital dementia therapy and is maneuvering all the right pieces into position to achieve this. Therefore, I find this part of the company's journey particularly exciting."
