Welcome to the last show in this season of the ISTAART PIA Relay Podcast, presented by Dementia Researcher. In our final episode, we come full circle with Dr Keir Yong, Senior Research Fellow at UCL's Dementia Research Centre, speaking with Professor Arlene Astell, Chair of the Non-Pharmacological Interventions PIA.
Professor Astell discusses her role as a Professor of Cyber Psychology at Northumbria University and Director of the Dementia Ageing Technology Engagement Lab at the University of Toronto. She offers a comprehensive look into her journey into dementia research, sparked by early interactions with individuals living with dementia, and her commitment to understanding and mitigating the cognitive and behavioural challenges they face.
Gain insights into the innovative projects led by Professor Astell, including the development of touchscreen computer systems designed to support conversation for people with dementia. How the significance of lifestyle interventions, such as nutrition and physical activity, and the emerging potential of neuromodulation can play a role in reducing dementia risk.
The conversation also highlights the broader implications of non-pharmacological interventions, the challenges in implementing these approaches within health systems, and the importance of influencing public health policy to ensure wider adoption – and the role that the Non-Pharmacological Interventions PIA can play in fostering collaboration.

Join us for another episode of the ISTAART Relay Podcast brought to you by Dementia Researcher. We’re releasing one of these shows each week in the build up to the AAIC, which this year starts on the 28th July.
In this episode, Dr Diana Karamacoska takes over the hot seat to interview Dr Keir Yong, a Senior Research Fellow at University College London, about the intricacies of Atypical Alzheimer's Disease, and the work of the Atypical Alzheimer's Disease PIA.
Discover how posterior cortical atrophy (PCA), a less common variant of Alzheimer’s, impacts patients' lives and the innovative research aiming to improve diagnosis and treatment. Get insights into the diagnostic challenges, the role of biomarkers, and the essential interdisciplinary collaborations driving advancements in this field.
Don't miss this deep dive into Keir’s work, hot topics in the field, and how their PIA is making a difference.
