Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasingly aging population is expected to cause significant health challenges, particularly with the rising prevalence of dementia. Are we prepared to address the complexities of evaluating and managing dementia on a large scale, or is a greater innovation required to meet these demands?
Innovations entail introducing novel ideas, methods, or products to improve established practices. During the COVID-19 pandemic, innovation became essential (such as remote neuropsychological assessments and intervention), with many of those solutions now being integrated into everyday life. To advance this field, we have launched this Special Issue, focusing on innovative approaches to evaluating neuropsychological and cognitive changes in aging and improving interventions for these conditions.
We invite research articles, case reports, and short communications that highlight advancements in this area. Submissions should clearly explain their innovative contributions and their potential impact on the field, paving the way for more effective strategies to address the challenges posed by dementia and cognitive aging.
