MassAITC Monthly Webinar Series

Speaker
Abstract
Cognitive rehabilitation therapy supports individuals living with mild cognitive impairment and early-stage dementia in maintaining and improving function in daily life. However, access remains limited due to constraints in the availability and scalability of trained therapists. Recent advances in artificial intelligence, combined with evolving reimbursement pathways for remote care in the United States, now make virtual delivery models increasingly viable, creating new opportunities to expand access to high-quality cognitive care.
Moneta Health has developed a telephone-based cognitive rehabilitation platform that enables structured, personalized therapy sessions delivered remotely and overseen by licensed speech-language pathologists. The platform leverages AI-driven speech analysis and automated session orchestration to support consistent therapy delivery while preserving clinician oversight, enabling older adults to engage in care from their homes through a familiar and intuitive interface. This approach is designed to address workforce limitations while supporting scalable, cost-effective deployment.
This talk will describe Moneta Health’s AI-enabled platform architecture, clinical workflow integration, and commercial delivery model, alongside real-world clinical outcomes. Results demonstrate statistically significant improvements in cognitive function and quality-of-life measures, as assessed using validated clinical instruments, within a supervised virtual care framework. The presentation will also provide an overview of Moneta’s MassAITC-funded pilot project, highlighting the role of AI in enabling voice-based clinical workflows, remote monitoring, and the delivery of personalized cognitive rehabilitation at scale.
