Hoag Neurosciences Institute’s (HNI) Orange County Vital Aging Program (OCVAP), is a community-wide, multi-disciplinary program dedicated to raising education awareness about Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders (ADRD). OCVAP’s goal is to help men and women maintain a healthy brain for life by encouraging risk factor management, facilitating early intervention against cognitive impairment and generally improving standards of care for ADRD, as well supporting the local medical community in their efforts to promote healthy aging.
At the center of OCVAP is a newly-developed online self-assessment tool that allows users to take control of their own cognitive health by evaluating their memory, learning about key risk factors for ADRD, identifying the earliest stages of memory loss due to underlying medical conditions, and evaluating for contributing factors of cognitive decline caused by depression.
