Synapticure, a Leader in Neurodegenerative Virtual Care, Offers Transformational Patient and Caregiver Support through Access to Specialized Neurologists, Cutting-Edge Medical Treatment and Trials and Personalized, Wraparound Support
Chicago, IL & New York, NY (August 22, 2024) — Synapticure, a leading telemedicine company focused on improving the lives of people and caregivers living with neurodegenerative diseases and Pearl Health, a leading technology company focused on physician enablement in value-based care, today announced a partnership with the goal to benefit dementia patients and their families through the CMS GUIDE (Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience) program.
Launched in July, the CMS GUIDE program fully covers online visits with top Synapticure neurologists and provides approximately 80 hours of respite care services from skilled providers to relieve caregivers at no additional cost. Through this partnership, Pearl Health primary care providers across the country may refer Medicare patients to Synapticure as a part of a proactive, value-based approach to care.
Synapticure’s partnership with Pearl Health through the GUIDE program democratizes access to high-quality dementia care including specialized neurologists, behavioral health, and comprehensive caregiver support within a week of consultation.
“Synapticure’s partnership with Pearl Health through the GUIDE program democratizes access to high-quality dementia care including specialized neurologists, behavioral health, and comprehensive caregiver support within a week of consultation,” said Sandra Abrevaya, caregiver and CEO of Synapticure. “This approach ensures patients receive top-quality care from home.”
The Pearl Health-Synapticure partnership is designed with the goal to improve quality of life, reduce strain on unpaid caregivers, and enable people living with dementia to remain safely in their homes and communities.
Pearl Health’s partnership with Synapticure further supports our primary care providers in delivering the right care at the right time.
“Pearl Health’s partnership with Synapticure further supports our primary care providers in delivering the right care at the right time,” said Dr. Cameron Berg, EVP Clinical Strategy at Pearl Health. “The organizations share a commitment to improving quality of life as well as the highest standards of clinical, technical, and operational aptitude.”
Dementia currently impacts over 6.7 million Americans, and this number is expected to rise to 14 million by 2060. Individuals with dementia often manage multiple chronic conditions and encounter fragmented care, which leads to frequent hospitalizations and emergency room visits. These patients may also exhibit behavioral health symptoms and require continuous, around-the-clock care. The burden of managing these complexities falls heavily on caregivers, who face significant mental, physical, emotional, and financial challenges.
