Early Dementia Detection & Prevention
Your brain is our mission. At Liv Duna Medical’s Neurocognitive Center, we believe that cognitive health is the cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Our mission is to identify the earliest signs of dementia—often years before symptoms significantly impact daily living—and to implement tailored prevention strategies that preserve memory, clarity, and independence for as long as possible.
Using the internationally recognised Brain Health Tree™ protocol, our multidisciplinary CogniTeam™ assesses brain, heart, genetic, and lifestyle factors to create a complete picture of your cognitive wellbeing. We then design a personalised plan combining medical care, lifestyle optimisation, and cognitive training to help you maintain mental sharpness.
- 70% of dementia cases are related to Alzheimer’s disease; up to 30% may be reversible or linked to treatable causes.
- Research shows that nearly 50% of dementia cases could be delayed or prevented through targeted interventions.
- Early detection not only preserves quality of life but also opens the door to novel treatments and clinical trials.
Why Choose Liv Duna Medical Center?
- World-class expertise: Led by neurologists, neuropsychologists, and dementia researchers with international credentials.

- Holistic prevention: EUROFINGERS-based interventions addressing multiple risk domains.
- Global research access: Opportunities to join cutting-edge clinical trials through CRU Global and partners.
- Continuity of care: From first assessment to long-term monitoring and family support.
Our Brain Health Services
We offer a complete range of screening, diagnostic, and prevention packages designed for individuals at any stage of cognitive health—whether you have no symptoms and want peace of mind, or are already experiencing memory or concentration changes.
Screening Package
A baseline evaluation for those without significant symptoms. Includes neurological examination, cognitive pre-screening, cardiovascular risk assessment, dementia-protocol MRI, and a CogniTeam™ consultation.
Diagnostic Package
For individuals with cognitive concerns. In-depth neuropsychology, ophthalmology, audiology, lab tests, blood amyloid/tau biomarkers, and expert review by our dementia team.
Genetic Diagnostics Package
18-gene panel for hereditary dementia risk, including counselling by a geneticist before and after testing.
Differential Diagnostics
Advanced tools for complex cases, including FDG-PET, DaTSCAN, CSF amyloid/tau analysis, EEG, and autonomic testing.
Dementia — Early Diagnosis, Effective Prevention, Personalised Care
Dementia describes a group of conditions that impair memory, thinking, behaviour, and the ability to perform everyday activities. The most common cause is Alzheimer’s disease, but there are many other types—some potentially reversible if detected early.
Our approach combines the latest scientific evidence with compassionate, patient-centred care. By identifying dementia in its earliest stages, we give our patients the best chance to slow progression, plan ahead, and preserve independence.
Who We Assess
- Adults wanting to understand their personal dementia risk.
- Those with memory, language, or concentration difficulties.
- Patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or early dementia seeking second opinions.
- People with a family history of early-onset dementia considering genetic testing.
Types of Dementia We Evaluate
Alzheimer’s, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, Parkinson’s-related dementia, mixed dementia, and reversible causes such as vitamin deficiencies or thyroid disorders.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Pathway
Each patient follows a clear, step-by-step pathway from initial evaluation to a tailored management plan:
Neurological & Cognitive Evaluation
Complete medical history, neurological exam, and neuropsychological testing designed to detect subtle changes across multiple cognitive domains.
Dementia-Protocol MRI
High-resolution imaging with advanced volumetric analysis to detect early structural changes in the brain and vascular lesions.
Biomarkers & Laboratory Tests
Blood-based amyloid/tau biomarkers, full laboratory workup to exclude reversible causes, and CSF analysis for complex differential diagnosis.
Advanced Functional Testing
FDG-PET, SPECT, DaTSCAN, EEG, and autonomic function testing for in-depth assessment of brain function and disease type.
Our Prevention & Care Philosophy
Prevention is at the heart of our work. We create individualised plans focusing on modifiable risk factors—covering nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress, cardiovascular health, and cognitive stimulation—guided by EUROFINGERS research and global best practices.
Personalised Prevention Plan
Tailored interventions targeting diet, physical activity, social engagement, hearing correction, and vascular risk reduction.
Access to Treatments & Trials
Opportunities to participate in global clinical trials and access emerging disease-modifying therapies for early Alzheimer’s and related conditions.
Family Support & Follow-up
Ongoing monitoring, caregiver education, and emotional, legal, and social support to improve quality of life for patients and their families.
