PRLog -- GoTo Telemed, the nation's leading integrated telehealth ecosystem serving over 10 million patients nationwide, today announced the launch of its dedicated Virtual Geriatric Cognitive Assessment and Dementia Care Program, a comprehensive virtual care initiative designed to provide early detection, remote monitoring, evidence‑based cognitive interventions, and structured support for family caregivers for the growing population of older adults at risk for or living with dementia. Delivered by a multidisciplinary network of geriatricians, neurologists, neuropsychologists, geriatric psychiatrists, and certified dementia care specialists through GoTo Telemed's secure, HIPAA‑compliant platform, the program brings guideline‑aligned dementia care directly into the homes of older adults and their families across all 50 states, eliminating the geographic and logistical barriers that have historically prevented timely diagnosis and coordinated management.
Dementia has reached crisis proportions in the United States. An estimated 7.4 million Americans aged 65 and older are living with clinical Alzheimer's dementia in 2026, representing approximately one in nine older adults (about 11%). The burden is expected to grow substantially:
by 2060, the number is projected to reach 13.8 million. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for 60‑80% of cases, and is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States.
