Abstract

Brain Health has become a global public health priority, driven mainly by the rapid aging of populations and the increasing burden of neurological and psychiatric disorders. This report presents the first activities of the Bern Brain Health Working Group, established to implement the Swiss Brain Health Plan (SBHP), published in 2023. The aim is to describe the development and initial outcomes of regional initiatives promoting Brain Health in Switzerland. Specifically, we outline the structure and objectives of the Bern Brain Health Consultation, the development process and conceptual framework of the Swiss Brain Health Questionnaire, and additional educational and research activities supporting the SBHP. By summarizing these first steps, this report provides a model for regional implementation of a national Brain Health strategy and contributes to building a foundation for broader national and international Brain Health efforts.
