Description

This is an advanced brain health examination aimed at those who want to go the extra mile to optimize their brain health. We analyze over 162 data points related to your brain using quantitative MRI (qMRI), screen for 53 different brain diseases, and compile the results in a personalized report with concrete advice for further improvement. The examination is suitable for those who are healthy today, with no signs of pathology linked to dementia or Alzheimer's, but who wish to be proactive in improving the physiological structure of their brain.

To ensure that you can truly trust the examination to deliver the benefits you are looking for, our method is based on scientifically substantiated analyses and advanced qMRI technology. You will receive personalised and tailored feedback that makes the results both concrete and measurable. We collaborate with specialist neurologists, which provides high credibility and expert support. In addition, we offer the option of regular follow-ups so that you can monitor your brain health over time and clearly see any improvements.

It is beneficial to have the examination done regularly to create points of comparison, as soon as one month after your first examination. The MRI examination does not involve any radiation and is therefore completely safe to repeat often. A good time to have the examination done is in connection with your birthday, to ensure that your brain has not aged faster than you have.

The report

The report is compiled by a specialist neurologist and also includes a tailored action plan with concrete strategies for improving your brain health. You will receive clear recommendations on how you should exercise and eat, as well as additional measures you can take to strengthen your brain health in a way that can be measured over time. If necessary, advice is also given on the type of medical follow-up that is recommended. An example report can be found here.

Here's how to proceed
