A new JAMA Network Open study co-authored by Remo’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Meredith Bock looks at how people with Lewy body disease — which includes Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies — used hospice care compared to those with Alzheimer's disease.

Lewy body dementia patients were less likely to be discharged due to exceeding life expectancy, whereas Parkinson’s patients were more prone to leaving hospice early and had longer stays — suggesting unmet needs. Why does this matter? Findings underscores the need to analyze dementia subtypes separately for effective healthcare policy.
