Vision
To reduce the scale and impact of dementia, we need to approach brain health in the context of where individuals live in order to develop tailored prevention strategies.
Strategy
Joaquín uses multimodal approaches, including cognitive, self-reporting, and brain imaging, to characterize how diverse social determinants of health impact brain health. This can help identify those that are most protective/burdensome.
Impact
As an Atlantic Fellow, Joaquín aims to expand his exploration of the social determinants of health to create intervention strategies tailored to specific populations for the prevention and treatment of dementia.
Motivation
By targeting the social determinants of health through multimodal approaches, Joaquín aims to overcome universal and simplistic views of brain health, embracing diversity to develop population-specific dementia models, particularly for Latin America and Chile.
