🏛️ Major Congressional Update – The House Ways and Means Committee unanimously advanced the bipartisan ASAP Act, including key provisions from the CHANGE Act. This means...

➡️ Earlier detection
➡️ More timely answers for families
➡️ Better connections to care and treatment

This is a major step forward for Alzheimer’s early detection, thanks to advocates like you. We are grateful for your support and for continuing to make your voice heard. There are still steps ahead, but this is meaningful progress. by @usagainstalz

On the latest BrainStorm, Meryl Comer talks with Kirstin Thomas, co-founder of KindredMind, about the personal caregiving moment that inspired her to build a voice-companion app for those calls caregivers simply can’t always take.

They explore dementia separation anxiety, validation therapy, privacy and why technology should be a bridge — never a replacement — for caregivers.
