Background: The first disease-modifying treatments (DMTs) for Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been approved in the USA, marking profound changes in AD-diagnosis and treatment. This will bring new challenges in terms of clinician-patient communication. We aimed to collect the perspectives of memory clinic professionals regarding the most important topics to address and what (tools) would support professionals and their patients and care partners to engage in a meaningful conversation on whether (or not) to initiate treatment.

Introduction: Patients with severe cognitive impairment, with the progression of the disease, show behavioral impairments, loss of functionality and, in many cases, swallowing changes (dysphagia). Dysphagia comes with serious complications that can cause health damage, such as malnutrition, dehydration and serious lung damage secondary to aspirations. Eating process goes beyond nutritional intake, as it has a social, cultural, behavioral, physical and cognitive component.

Interventions before age 60 may lessen the burden of cognitive and physical function in later life. Telehealth offers early intervention and solutions for their complex demands in continuous behavior monitoring and medication refilling.

Background: Ecological momentary assessments (EMA) are increasingly used to monitor self-perceived memory and cognitive difficulties. We investigate how traditional self-reported, recall based assessments of cognitive difficulties correlate with EMA measures. We identify factors explaining shared variance between measures from the 40-item version of the Cognitive Change Index (CCI) and from EMA daily diaries, and factors explaining unique variance in each assessment.
