Desperate Search: Alzheimer's Patient in Carter Lake Seeks Life-Saving Medication

A woman in Carter Lake, Iowa, diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's at 53 years old is struggling to find the groundbreaking medication she needs. Lisa Kramer noticed a decline in her memory over the past six months and has been waiting for the FDA-approved drug called "Leqembi" to become available. After reaching out to the drug maker, Eisai Inc., they provided information to help connect Kramer with their patient support center, and two places in Omaha currently have the drug. Kramer and her family are praying for relief and more time, emphasizing the importance of research in the development of treatments for Alzheimer's.

Belong.Life, a New York-based health technology company, has launched "Dave," the world's first conversational AI oncology mentor for cancer patients. Dave is designed to provide patients with comprehensive, real-time answers around the clock, alleviating their stress levels and reducing their anxiety. The chatbot was named after the biblical King David and was trained on "billions of data points" from seven years' worth of interactions between patients and physicians. Dave is designed to complement physicians, not substitute for them, and can address up to 80% of the inquiries that patients typically direct toward physicians or other medical or health personnel.
