In this episode of the Dementia Research Project, we dive into the dementia education and research with Professor James Vickers, Director of the Wicking Dementia Research and Education Center at the University of Tasmania. We discuss the center's mission, the impact of MOOCs, dementia risk reduction initiatives like the ISLAND Project, the potential of blood-based biomarkers, and the role of AI in early diagnosis. Professor Vickers also emphasizes the importance of accessibility and real-world application in dementia education and care. Tune in to learn about the intersection of research, education, and practical implementation in tackling dementia.
