About me

Dr. Pressman completed medical training at Oregon Health & Science University (博彩网站), a neurology residency at Northwestern Memorial University, and a Behavioral Neurology Fellowship at the Memory and Aging Center in San Francisco. He later joined the University of Colorado, where he led an Alzheimer's clinical trial, developed the Standard of Care Rates (SoCRates) clinical database, and established a pre-clinical Cognitive Health Review Information System (CHRIS). His research lab focuses on innovative techniques for diagnosing and managing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related disorders (AD/ADRD), particularly those affecting socioemotional behavior and communication. Dr. Pressman’s interest in neurodegenerative diseases began as a research assistant at 博彩网站’s Layton Alzheimer’s Disease Center, later advancing through neuroimaging and communication studies at Northwestern and UCSF. His K23 Training Grant focused on computational speech analytics in AD/ADRD. Recent findings, presented at the 2024 American Academy of Neurology, showed 95% accuracy in distinguishing AD from healthy controls using spontaneous speech alone. His work also explores linguistic and socioemotional differences, supported by the ARTFL-LEFFTDS Consortium. His research integrates advanced recording and analytic technologies
