Lee Heng Charity Foundation Cognitive Health Assessment Programme Subsidy Scheme
Cognitive Health Assessment Programme (Programme) is a dedicated programme under our Neurocognitive Centre and is designed and led by neurologists. The Programme employs advanced blood-based biomarker diagnostics, supported by artificial intelligence assisted brain imaging assessment tool, AccuBrain®, which is more accurate and effective in detecting early-stage Alzheimer’s Disease and other neurodegenerative cognitive disorders.
Thanks to the generous contribution from the Lee Heng Charity Foundation, individuals who have been initially assessed by our neurologists as suitable candidates, and been referred to our Neurocognitive Centre for follow-up to participate in the ‘Cognitive Health Assessment Programme', may apply for financial support under the '"Cognitive Health Assessment Programme" Subsidy Scheme' (Subsidy Scheme) as listed below:
