About

Medinteract, founded by Dr. John Dougherty, released the ALZselftest.com in 2008, after years of clinical research and trials. Dr. Dougherty is a leading neurologist and has been an Alzheimer’s specialist for the last fifteen years.  He is Director of the Cole Neuroscience Center, a memory disorder clinic in Knoxville, TN, where he follows more than 2,000 Alzheimer’s patients.  More on the ALZselftest, the first clinically proven, early warning screen for Alzheimer’s and dementia, available direct to consumers, can be found at ALZselftest.com.

This blog began as a way to help educate the public with the truth about Alzheimer’s, in an effort to help dispel the myths and eliminate widespread fear of cognitive decline in aging.  Only through education and understanding can we join together to empower ourselves and each other to take control of our brain health.  Please use the comments section to share your thoughts, feelings or questions on any of our posts.  And remember, early and regular brain screening is vital to long term brain health.

Maintain your brain throughout your life – treat learning as a life long process, and get your brain health screened annually, at a minimum!
