Synapticure’s Virtual Model: Bridging Gaps in Neurodegenerative Care

As the demand for specialized neurology care grows, so does the need for healthcare models that provide quick, expert access to support patients and caregivers. Traditional telehealth models and brick-and-mortar clinics have limitations that can create barriers to the care that patients with complex neurodegenerative conditions require, from extended wait times to challenges traveling for specialized care.

Synapticure, designed by leaders like Dr. Eric Anderson, a pioneer in teleneurology, and experts in neurodegenerative diseases, brings a patient-centered approach that addresses these gaps. Our model offers patients fast access to expert neurologists, individualized care plans, and full support for caregivers—all while integrating clinical trials and the latest treatments into personalized care.

Here’s how our virtual model is different:

‍

Fast Access without Long Wait Times‍

‍With conventional neurology clinics, patients often face significant wait times for appointments, with many waiting months. Synapticure’s virtual model minimizes these delays by connecting patients to neurodegenerative specialists quickly, ensuring that critical interventions aren’t postponed. Our streamlined approach prioritizes timely access to care that not only optimizes outcomes but also reduces stress for patients and families.

‍

Access to Specialized Neurologists and Multidisciplinary Teams‍

‍Unlike many traditional telehealth platforms that may connect patients to general practitioners, Synapticure provides access to neurologists specializing in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and related dementias, Parkinson’s, ALS, and more. These experts understand the complex needs of both patients and caregivers, offering more tailored and knowledgeable care. Backed by care navigators, mental health professionals, and other specialists, our comprehensive approach ensures that each care plan is tailored to support our patient’s journey and preferences.

‍

Fast Access to Cutting-Edge Clinical Trials and Treatments

‍Synapticure’s telehealth platform also integrates opportunities for patients to participate in clinical trials and access the latest treatments. Traditional telehealth models may lack this level of access to research opportunities. Our telehealth platform also bridges the gap for individuals in rural or remote areas who often face significant barriers in accessing clinical trials and the latest treatments, as they may live miles from the nearest clinical site. but with Synapticure’s focus on advancing neurodegenerative care, patients benefit from the potential to access innovative therapies, supported by our care navigators who assist with eligibility and enrollment.

Quality Care Beyond Geographic Boundaries, in Collaboration with Local Clinics

‍For many patients in remote or underserved areas, accessing specialized neurology care can be a challenge, often due to geographic constraints and limited availability of specialists. Synapticure’s virtual model overcomes these barriers, providing high-quality, specialized care that reaches patients regardless of their location. At the same time, we collaborate closely with local clinics and primary care providers (PCPs) to ensure seamless, integrated support, recognizing the ongoing importance of traditional, in-person healthcare. This approach also allows caregivers, no matter where they are, to participate in consultations and care planning, ensuring that patients and families benefit from a coordinated, accessible, and supportive care environment.

‍

Enhanced Support for Caregivers and Families

‍At its core, Synapticure is a patient- and caregiver-founded platform started by innovative leaders in the community, who took their expertise in policy and healthcare reform to change the care system for neurodegenerative diseases. We understand firsthand how families and caregivers are impacted by these conditions and our virtual model is designed to support them as part of the patient’s journey, providing them with tools, resources, and flexibility to join appointments from anywhere. Unlike in traditional clinic settings where the burden often falls heavily on caregivers to coordinate care, Synapticure’s care navigators take on this role—scheduling appointments, arranging services, and offering continuous guidance—allowing caregivers to focus on what matters most.

Synapticure’s virtual care model redefines accessibility, ensuring specialized, comprehensive support for patients and caregivers—wherever they are. By collaborating with local providers, we enhance traditional care with expertise and seamless coordination, empowering patients and families throughout their journey.
