About the Program
Three interrelated trends are leading to cognitive decline becoming a workplace concern: (1) The American population is aging; as people age they are more likely to develop dementia; (2) many older individuals are postponing retirement and working longer, and (3) cognitive testing and other diagnostic devices have developed which enable clinicians to detect dementia or indicators that dementia may develop. This program will examine those trends and the increase in employers and insurers utilizing those diagnostic tools in their workplaces.
