Precision medicine is a medical approach that considers a patient’s genes, environment, and lifestyle. In the realm of Alzheimer’s disease, experts are pushing for using this approach to improve diagnosis, treatment, and our understanding of the condition.

The Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF)’s Dr. Howard Fillit joins Being Patient Live Talks to discuss precision medicine and its potential in Alzheimer’s diagnosis and care.
Fillit is an award-winning geriatrician, neuroscientist, and innovative philanthropy executive who has led the ADDF since its founding.
