SINGAPORE, Oct 17 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Savonix, a global leader in digital tests for cognitive health, and Tucker Medical, a multi-specialty practice offering personalized medicine and care in medical oncology, gastroenterology, and family medicine, today announced a partnership to provide access to the Savonix Cognitive Assessment platform as part of its clinical offerings.
This partnership is built on a shared understanding that each patient is unique and should be treated based on their individual health needs, with the ultimate goal and vision to help improve preventive care and oncology treatment in Singapore. Tucker Medical, with its Personalized Medicine services, conducts baseline screenings across multiple areas of a person’s health. The Savonix Cognitive Assessment platform will be used to generate a baseline and ongoing assessment across a broad spectrum of cognitive function, including working memory, attention, executive function, and processing speed.
“We are excited to bring affordable and efficient cognitive testing to Singapore and are pleased to partner with the team at Tucker Medical who share our belief that cognitive health plays a vital role in overall health,” said Dr. Mylea Charvat, CEO and Founder of Savonix. “Savonix will be a great asset to Tucker Medical’s oncology program. During and after chemotherapy treatment, it is common for patients to experience ‘chemo-fog’, a type of mental cloudiness that impairs memory and concentration. Savonix can be used to track cognition and provide insights for intervention and personalized approaches to care.”
Dr. Steven Tucker, CEO of Tucker Medical added: “We are excited to work with Savonix to integrate cognitive health into our routine medical assessment. Since we are a multi-specialty practice, defining, improving and maintaining cognitive health adds clear value to our patients, whether they are seeing us for treatment of disease or general primary care. We believe in tracking all aspects of health and the Savonix platform creates clear and reproducible measurements for baseline and ongoing assessments. Chronic diseases, from diabetes to cancer, can impact cognition, and now we can measure and act on this dimension of health.”
