AvantMind Matters @Monash University
AvantMind Matters@Monash is a synergistic collaboration between AvantHealth and Monash University Malaysia, pioneering a transformative approach to brain health advocacy.
This initiative represents a significant leap in dementia research and advocacy, blending academic rigour with industry expertise to tackle one of Malaysia’s most urgent public health challenges, dementia.
With global rate and old-age dependency rising, dementia is not just an aging issue—it’s a growing public health concern that affects individuals, families, and communities.
We believe early action and awareness are key to preventing cognitive decline and reducing the future impact of dementia burden of care.
