A major health system partner recently told us its Medicare patients with dementia cost $31K annually, almost 2.5x a Medicare patient without dementia. A staggering number, but NOT a surprise. And, primarily the result of unnecessary ER visits and hospitalizations. This partner sees 98% of its dementia patients in the ER at some point every 18 months. Today, we proudly released the results of a Rippl/Kinto clinical trial that proves how quickly we can impact caregiver strain and confidence, both major factors driving patients to ERs and hospitals. We've always known the caregiver IS the fundamental unlock in delivering better clinical and cost outcomes for our patients. Today's results prove it. Read more below.

?? Dementia often goes undetected — up to 61% of cases may be missed. Early detection is crucial, yet neurologist waitlists can be as long as 7 months, and 20 states are “dementia neurology deserts” with few specialists available. But there’s good news! Rippl and the Alzheimer's Association? are now offering FREE access to dementia care for those with traditional Medicare in Washington, Illinois, Missouri, Texas and more states launching all the time. Don’t wait; care and support are available. ?? #DementiaAwareness #medicare #dementiacare #caregivers #createarippl #aboutdamntime #LIVINGwithDementia

It’s time for every state to make access to quality expert #dementiacare a priority! ??Hats off to our partners at the Alzheimer's Association? for continuing to do the hard work to make this a reality, including bringing passionate thought leaders together in one place to move the ball forward.
