CTE: The silent killer in contact sports | Emer MacSweeney | TEDxAthens
Brain expert Dr Emer MacSweeney, discusses the most feared risk for amateur and professional contact sports players across the globe, and why Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is emerging as a silent killer.
With a determination and passion to provide a solution for the unacceptable problem of dementia, Emer founded Re:Cognition Health in 2011.
With her medical knowledge and training in neurosciences, corporate experience, personal credibility, contacts and charisma Emer assembled a team of Brain and Mind Experts to create Re:Cognition Health; an internationally recognized expert provider of the best diagnosis, treatment and hope for people with memory and other cognitive symptoms.
Focusing, initially on the Global Pandemic, Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and working closely with providers of sophisticated biomarkers and pharmaceutical sponsor’s R&D to provide new medications; Emer’s team have enabled thousands of individuals to gain early access to novel diagnostic tests and new mediations, designed to halt or slow progression of AD, through international clinical trials. This work, for which Emer was awarded an UK “EY Entrepreneur of the Year” award for Societal Impact in 2019 and multiple other awards, continues.
Emer and her team are also focusing, now, on the hugely under recognized complication of repetitive brain injury, from contact sports: Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).
Emer’s Tedx talk addresses CTE: awareness, risks, pathology, new diagnostic tests and potential for treatment. Parallels with AD, may accelerate understanding and treatment of CTE. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
