Driven by the powerful technology in Apple Watch and iPhone and Biogen\u2019s in-depth knowledge of neuroscience, the study\u2019s primary\u00a0objectives are to develop digital biomarkers to help monitor cognitive performance over time and identify early signs of MCI. <\/p>\n<p>For aging adults, cognitive health is becoming increasingly recognized as an important component of overall health. However, significant delays exist in identifying declines in cognitive health including MCI, which impacts approximately 15 \u2013 20 percent of adults\u00a0over the age of 65. The onset of symptoms is often subtle, ranging from being easily distracted to memory loss, and can take months to years before cognitive decline comes to the attention of health care providers.<\/p>\n<p>The virtual study allows adult users across the aging lifespan to join. The study has been designed with customer privacy, control and transparency in mind as well as data security. Participants, who can stop taking part in the study at any time, will complete a detailed consent form listing the collected data types and how each may be used and shared. Data will be stored in an encrypted manner and in systems with strong security controls designed to protect the data.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCognitive decline can be an early symptom of neurodegenerative diseases and dementia. The successful development of digital biomarkers in brain health would help address the significant need to accelerate patient diagnoses and empower physicians and individuals to take timely action,\u201d said Michel Vounatsos, CEO at Biogen. \u201cFor healthcare systems, such advancements in cognitive biomarkers from large-scale studies could contribute significantly to prevention and better population-based health outcomes, and lower costs to\u00a0health systems. Bringing together the best of neuroscience with the best of technology creates a wonderful prospect for patients and public health.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking in collaboration with Biogen, we hope this study can help the medical community better understand a person&#8217;s cognitive performance by simply having\u00a0them engage with their Apple Watch and iPhone,\u201d said Jeff Williams, Apple\u2019s chief operating officer. \u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to learning about the impact our\u00a0technology can have in delivering better health outcomes through improved detection of declining cognitive health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is terrific news for all of us who are interested in our brain health,\u201d said George Vradenburg, Chairman and Cofounder of UsAgainstAlzheimer\u2019s, a patient-led\u00a0non-profit pushing to prevent dementia through ongoing attention to brain health. \u201cJust as we today use new digital and mobile tools to help us monitor and improve\u00a0our cardiovascular health, this new study will help us learn how to use those same tools to monitor and improve our brain health. We have learned repeatedly that\u00a0detecting disease at its earliest stage is our best bet to treat it effectively. To that end, this exciting study could enable us to learn how to get early warning signs of\u00a0cognitive decline which may be addressed through lifestyle and therapeutic changes designed to slow or stop the progression of brain disease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStrategies that optimize brain health and improve cognitive function are the key to reducing the risk of dementia and this study has the potential to discover transformative ways to monitor and assess brain health,\u201d said Nora Super, executive director of the Milken Institute Alliance to Improve Dementia Care. \u201cWe are always eager to see technological innovation, and we are particularly interested in the user convenience of data collected through the use of everyday devices like Apple Watch and iPhone. This type of innovation may enhance our understanding of the aging brain and therefore may ultimately help us understand how to maintain and improve brain health throughout adulthood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Biogen <\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>At Biogen, our mission is clear: we are pioneers in neuroscience. Biogen discovers, develops and delivers worldwide innovative therapies for people living with serious neurological and neurodegenerative diseases as well as related therapeutic adjacencies. One of the world\u2019s first global biotechnology companies, Biogen was founded in 1978 by Charles Weissmann, Heinz Schaller, Kenneth Murray and Nobel Prize winners Walter Gilbert and Phillip Sharp. Today Biogen has the leading portfolio of medicines to treat multiple sclerosis, has introduced the first approved treatment for spinal muscular atrophy, commercializes biosimilars of advanced biologics and is focused on advancing research programs in multiple sclerosis and neuroimmunology, Alzheimer\u2019s disease and dementia, neuromuscular disorders, movement disorders, ophthalmology, neuropsychiatry, immunology, acute neurology and neuropathic pain.<\/p>\n<p>We routinely post information that may be important to investors on our website at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=8C-eUehE34cnICICzPHxnoGrcsmnlfE-VGbcqqLd0rQRLRE_5c8m7hMkdSzjVqdYQazVEWhAaKga-lNTn4EHJw==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.biogen.com<\/a>.
