Slip, slop, slap for cognitive decline? This is Professor Henry Brodaty’s plan for a dementia prevention program

A three-year study found that online coaching was almost three times as effective as giving patients information for fighting cognitive decline.

For decades, psychiatrist Scientia Professor Henry Brodaty has studied dementia, antipsychotic deprescribing and residential care treatment.

He has directed the Memory Disorders Clinic at Sydney’s Prince of Wales Hospital, chaired Alzheimer’s Disease International and currently works at UNSW Sydney’s Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing.

But what excites him right now is his research on an online training tool with components on exercise, nutrition, cognitive activity and depression/anxiety support.

A three-year, 6000-person study of the tool has revealed a path to slowing the onset of dementia, he says.
