At-Home Brain Therapy for Alzheimer's | New Orleans News
About this episode
Ochsner Health introduces Spectris, an at-home therapy for Alzheimer's that uses light and sound to stimulate the brain.
Ochsner Health is rolling out a groundbreaking at-home Alzheimer’s therapy called Spectris, using a headset to deliver light and sound patterns designed to stimulate the brain, clear plaque, and boost cognition—like a daily brain workout. Still in trials, it’s being tested for home use, offering convenience for patients and caregivers, especially in Louisiana where 95,000 are affected. While not a cure, early results show promise, with patients like Diane Roussel watching closely for hope. Developed by Cognito Therapeutics, Spectris aims for FDA approval by June 2027 and is being explored for stroke, TBI, Parkinson’s, and ALS. Ochsner’s new neuroscience institute, launching this fall, will further study the tech’s potential, with phase three trial results expected soon—offering new pathways for families battling neurological disease.
