    Opportunities and Challenges of HTA Regulation and Joint Clinical Assessments

    As the EU Health Technology Assessment (HTA) landscape transforms with the upcoming Joint Clinical Assessment (JCA), what does this mean for timely access to innovative therapies and reducing duplication of efforts across Member States?  In this episode, Frédéric Destrebecq, Executive Director of the European Brain Council, sat down with Dr. Dimitrios Georgiopoulos, Senior Vice President and Global Franchise Head for Neurology & Immunology at Merck Healthcare, to discuss the opportunities and challenges of the new Health Technology Assessment Regulation, particularly for orphan and neurological treatments. Join us to explore how this new framework aims to harmonize methodologies, empower patient engagement, and shape a collaborative future for healthcare across the EU.

    Unlocking AI's Potential in Brain Health

    Neurodegenerative disorders have a huge societal burden and heavily impact the lives of those affected. Artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is a booming field: the development of computer programs and systems able to emulate tasks normally requiring human intelligence such as recognizing patterns, taking decisions, evaluating and predicting is set to revolutionize the prevention and care of people with neurodegenerative disorders. In this Brain Talks episode, Sam Pauly is joined by Dr Alessandro Guazzo, Postdoctoral Fellow at Carnegie Mellon University and Dr Ira Haraldsen, Primary investigator and Head of the Cognitive Health Research group at the Oslo University Hospital.

    The Integration of Mental and Somatic Health

    The increasing number of people living with two or more chronic disorders (multimorbidities) poses an urgent need to better understand underlying mechanisms for better prevention and care throughout the life course. Somatic disorders e.g., type 2 diabetes and brain disorders e.g., Alzheimer’s disorder often co-occur. If a single molecule was the key to some of the greatest health challenges of our time, what would tomorrow look like? The EU-funded PRIME project aims to unravel the insulin-dependent mechanisms underlying both somatic conditions (e.g., type 2 diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome) and brain disorders (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease, obsessive-compulsive disorder, autism spectrum disorders). In this new Brain Talks episode on the integration of mental and somatic health, Sam Pauly sat down with two partners in this EU-funded project PRIME: Silke Matura, Group Leader at the Goethe University Hospital, and Simone Macri, Researcher at the Italian National Institute of Health.

    Unlocking Europe's Brain Potential: Prioritizing Research & Innovation in the 21st Century

    The Covid-19 pandemic shed a crude light on how instrumental research and innovation are in the European Union. This crisis revealed significant disparities and fractures between Member States. More importantly, patients living with neurological or mental disorders were heavily impacted by the pandemic, and faced tremendous challenges to maintain their access to care and to meet their medical needs. In this episode, Frederic Destrebecq, Executive Director of the European Brain Council, Christian Suojanen, Founder & CEO of Broadreach Global, and Professor Michel Goldman, renowned medical doctor and researcher, discuss the post-pandemic European landscape, and address the major challenges and opportunities for brain research and innovation in the EU. From fostering a collaborative climate within the wider brain community to an ambitious European Brain Research and Innovation Plan, join our journey on what it takes to make brain research and innovation a European priority for the 21st century.

    How the Environment Influences Brain Health

    This Brain Talks episode on Urban Environment and Brain Health features two projects on brain health, funded by the European Union under the same main programme (H2020-EU.3.1. - SOCIETAL CHALLENGES - Health, demographic change and well-being): BRAINTEASER and eMOTIONAL Cities. Evidence shows that environmental factors may influence both the aetiology and the progression of a number of brain conditions. Through cost-effective sensors and apps, a comprehensive analysis of clinical, lifestyle and environmental data and predictive/preventive AI models for patient stratification and disease progression, BRAINTEASER aims to better inform people living with MS and ALS and support clinical decision making in 4 urban areas: Madrid, Turin, Lisbon and Pavia. Urban living is associated to an increase in mood and anxiety disorders, drugs addiction and risk of schizophrenia and psychosis. Through urban stress research, emotional mapping, urban prevention and therapy research, eMOTIONAL Cities aims to explore how urban planning and design could positively impact brain health in 4 cities: Lisbon, Copenhagen, London and Lansing.
