Ahead of Alzheimer’s stands at the forefront of a new era, one where brain health and wellness become a national priority, early detection becomes standard, and Alzheimer’s is no longer a passive diagnosis, but an active, manageable condition. Our show brings together patients, families, caregivers, clinicians, researchers, policymakers, and thought leaders to explore the science, stories, breakthroughs, and policy conversations that can help people understand risk, recognize possibility, and act sooner. In this episode, Emily Kaplan speaks with Phil Coticelli, Executive Director of the Alzheimer’s Policy Working Group, about the critical intersection of federal policy, diagnostic innovation, and patient access. Phil breaks down how systemic policy changes can accelerate early detection, improve insurance coverage for advanced diagnostics, and better equip primary care physicians to manage cognitive health. He also explores the strategic framework behind “Solving Alzheimer’s” and what it takes to turn medical breakthroughs into accessible clinical realities. Watch the episode to see how proactive policy initiatives are laying the groundwork for a more responsive and integrated healthcare system.
