DESCRIPTION:Join us on April 15 at noon for our next episode of º£½ÇÉçÇø Care
 s\, a webcast series designed to support informal caregivers. During candi
 d\, 30-minute interviews with leading experts\, Claire Webster\, Founder o
 f the º£½ÇÉçÇø Dementia Education Program\, explores topics related to carin
 g for a loved one who is living with dementia.\n\nMultiple Sclerosis and t
 he Brain: From Diagnosis to Digital Innovation\n\nÉtienne de Villers-Sidan
 i\, MDCM\, FRCP(C)\, is a neurologist\, neuroscientist\, and entrepreneur\
 , and Director of the Cognitive Disorders Clinic at The Neuro (Montreal Ne
 urological Institute-Hospital). He is also an associate professor in the D
 epartment of Neurology and Neurosurgery at º£½ÇÉçÇø. His research
  focuses on how aging and neurological disorders affect brain function\, a
 nd on developing innovative strategies\, including brain training and digi
 tal biomarkers\, to preserve and restore cognitive health. A central focus
  of his work is the use of eye movement biomarkers for the early detection
  and monitoring of neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis\, Al
 zheimer’s disease\, and Parkinson’s disease. As founder of Innodem Neurosc
 iences\, he is committed to bringing these technologies into clinical prac
 tice to improve access to high-quality neurological care.\n\nDuring this e
 pisode of º£½ÇÉçÇø Cares\, Dr. de Villers-Sidani will explore multiple scler
 osis (MS)\, one of the most common neurological diseases affecting young a
 dults in Canada. He will explain how MS impacts the brain over time\, incl
 uding its effects on cognition\, and how it can sometimes resemble other c
 onditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. He will also discuss emerging innov
 ations in neurological monitoring\, including how simple eye movement test
 s performed on a tablet can detect subtle changes in brain function. These
  approaches offer new and accessible ways to track disease progression in 
 real time. Throughout the talk\, he will highlight how informed and empowe
 red patients can play a central role in improving their own care and outco
 mes.\n\nThis free webcast will be offered in both ENGLISH and FRENCH.\n\nR
 egistration is not required.  We will share the links when they become ava
 ilable.\n\n____________________________       \n\nº£½ÇÉçÇø Cares is supporte
