Research Showcase – Seizure Risk and Dementia Care
June 24 @ 8:00 pm - 8:45 pm
How often are hidden neurological events missed in dementia care. And could better seizure risk assessment improve support for older adults in long term care settings.
This livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work, methods, and ideas.
In this session, Russ Barker will present work exploring the coexistence of dementia and epileptiform activity, an important but under explored issue in geriatric neurology and long term care. His integrative literature review brings together evidence from across disciplines to identify key seizure risk domains in dementia care.
Russ is Founder and CEO of Seagull Health, based in Blue Springs, Missouri. His work aims to support better recognition of hidden neurological events in ageing populations and provide a conceptual basis for developing a standardised seizure risk scoring framework for dementia care environments.
Attendees can expect a research focused session with time for questions and discussion.
