Scaling Specialist Access: Inside Isaac Health's New Dementia Care Model

Why do patients have to wait months, or even years, for dementia care while their condition worsens? The current system is failing families, but our guests today have developed a new dementia care model to fix it. This episode of HealthTech Remedy dives deep into Isaac Health, a company using a technology-enabled services platform to deliver scalable, specialist-level brain health and dementia care directly to patients in their homes. We're joined by co-founders Dr. Julius Bruch, a former McKinsey consultant and dementia researcher, and Dr. Joel Salinas, a leading neurologist from NYU, to unpack how they are tackling one of healthcare's biggest challenges. In this conversation, we explore the revolutionary approach Isaac Health is taking to solve the crisis of access in brain healthcare. You'll learn how their innovative, virtual dementia care platform is designed to eliminate the long wait times to see a neurologist - which can stretch over a year - and provide immediate support. We break down the new Medicare GUIDE model, a landmark payment initiative from CMS that is creating new pathways for comprehensive dementia services, and how Isaac Health’s model was perfectly positioned to lead the way. Co-founders Julius Bruch and Dr. Joel Salinas share the personal stories that drove them to leave successful careers in consulting and academic medicine to build a solution from the ground up. This discussion is a masterclass in building a technology-enabled clinical services company. We cover how Isaac Health provides scalable specialist dementia care by using smart workflows and technology to empower a wider range of clinicians and extend the reach of top neurologists. The conversation also highlights the immense burden placed on families and the critical importance of dementia caregiver support, a core component of their comprehensive model. We also touch on the development of new value-based care models, the challenges of integrating medical and social care, and the incredible early results Isaac Health has achieved, including a 38% reduction in ER visits for their patients. From personal stories of patient impact to a high-level discussion of their business strategy and partnerships with Medicare Advantage plans, this episode is essential listening for anyone affected by dementia or interested in the future of healthcare innovation.
