The Clínica Sant Josep has inaugurated an innovative and specialized service aimed at the evaluation, diagnosis, and monitoring of memory disorders and other cognitive alterations. This private unit is geared towards adults, starting from 16 years of age, with suspected deterioration or difficulties in mental abilities.
Among the symptoms addressed by the unit are persistent memory problems, attention deficit, language alterations, or significant behavioral changes that may indicate a disorder, as well as cognitive disorders caused by diseases or normal aging.
“"The combination of neurological evaluation and neuropsychological study is key to early detection of the first signs of cognitive deterioration and differentiating between the various possible causes."
The service is based on a multidisciplinary model that coordinates the work of the neurology specialist, Dr. Anna Mas Vidal, and the clinical neuropsychologist, Jordi Sánchez Monteagudo. This rigorous and comprehensive approach allows for a detailed analysis of functions such as memory, attention, language, and executive functions.
For selected patients, the unit offers the possibility of performing advanced tests, including brain imaging and blood tests for the detection of Alzheimer's disease biomarkers. This technology significantly improves diagnostic accuracy and facilitates the identification of the disease in its earliest stages.
