Early Successes in Remote Research: Enabling Enrollment in Clinical Trials
October 30, 2024
Navigating a neurodegenerative disease requires more than just medical appointments—it demands continuous, expert support that addresses the evolving challenges of these complex conditions. At Synapticure, we provide holistic support to manage emotional, logistical, and psychological challenges individuals and families face living with diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, and others. By providing these vital services through our telehealth platform, we ensure that patients and caregivers can access the expertise they need, when they need it, no matter where they are.
Comprehensive, Compassionate Care
Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, ALS, and Parkinson’s require specialized expertise that goes beyond a single doctor’s visit. At Synapticure, we offer patients access to a multidisciplinary team of experts, including neurologists, care coordinators, genetic counselors, neuropsychologists, psychiatrists, speech-language pathologists, and more who have decades of experience working in neurodegenerative conditions. Many of them have been personally impacted by these diseases and know firsthand what patients and caregivers are going through. This team approach ensures that every aspect of your care is covered with compassion.
With Synapticure’s telehealth platform, patients and their loved ones don’t have to wait months to see a specialist. In fact, they can schedule appointments within two weeks. This seamless care is not only fast but also available no matter where you are—whether at home or traveling. If desired, appointments can be scheduled around family members and caregivers so they can join even if living separately.
Importantly, we collaborate closely with your current care team, like your local physician, ensuring continuity and a comprehensive plan for treatment and support.
Navigating Care
Managing a neurodegenerative disease can feel overwhelming, but Synapticure makes the journey easier by offering expert care navigation. Our Care Navigators are a constant point of contact, ready to help patients and caregivers manage every aspect of their care. They guide you through everything from setting up appointments to coordinating additional services like clinical trial support, physical therapy, behavioral health support, or community resources.
For caregivers, this navigation is essential. The challenges of managing appointments, medications, and resources often fall heavily on loved ones. Some of our care navigators have been caregivers themselves and know the toll that these roles can take. Our approach lightens that burden on caregivers by handling these logistics, allowing families to focus on being present. Whether you need support with enrolling in clinical trials, obtaining genetic counseling, accessing local resources, or arranging in-home services, we’re here to coordinate it all—keeping patients and caregivers at the center of every decision.
Mental Health
Mental health is a crucial component of managing neurodegenerative diseases. As these diseases progress, patients and their caregivers often face stress, anxiety, and depression at higher levels than the general population. That’s why Synapticure offers a Collaborative Mental Health Care Program.
Our mental health team includes mental health care managers, neuropsychologists, and psychiatrists who specialize in neurodegenerative conditions. Whether you’re interested in talk therapy, medication review, or developing strategies to manage emotional challenges, we provide personalized care designed to meet your mental health goals. Caregivers also have access to these services, ensuring that everyone involved in the journey has the support they need.
At Synapticure, we believe in a holistic approach to managing neurodegenerative diseases. This means not only addressing the immediate needs of patients but also providing comprehensive, long-term care that includes physical health, mental health, and emotional support for both patients and caregivers.
With our telehealth platform and a multidisciplinary team that’s dedicated to personalized, compassionate care, Synapticure offers unmatched support. We work around the clock to ensure that patients receive the care they need, when they need it, while easing the burden on caregivers and loved ones.
