About this episode

Ochsner Health introduces a new at-home therapy for Alzheimer's that uses light and sound to stimulate the brain.

Ochsner Health is rolling out a revolutionary at-home Alzheimer’s therapy called Spectris in Louisiana—using a headset that delivers targeted light and sound to stimulate the brain and potentially clear harmful plaque. Still in clinical trials, this brain “workout” could slow disease progression and is being hailed as a game-changer for daily management. Partnering with Cognito Therapeutics, Ochsner aims to make it affordable and accessible, with FDA approval expected by June 2027. The therapy, already helping patients like Diane Roussel, may also treat other neurological conditions including Parkinson’s and stroke. A new neuroscience institute opens this fall, signaling a major push for earlier diagnosis and treatment—and renewed hope for families across the state.
