BrainGuide was created by UsAgainstAlzheimer’s with in-kind and financial support from Biogen.
Whether you are concerned about your own brain health, or that of a loved one, now is the time to take action. Recognizing early signs of Alzheimer’s or other dementia symptoms can be the key to maximizing the most valuable asset you have: time. BrainGuide offers many Alzheimer’s resources to help you get started today.
The first step can seem tough, especially when it comes to brain health for you or a loved one. BrainGuide offers two memory questionnaires: one to take for yourself, and another for someone you care about. Each questionnaire takes less than ten minutes to complete and all responses are confidential. When you’re done, we’ll send you tailored resources based on the answers you gave us. Just one small step now can help you take every step that follows with confidence.
