Alzheimer's Program · In-Depth

The science, the team, and the stories behind Alzheimer's care in Cuba

A deeper look at the clinical evidence supporting NeuralCIM® (NeuroEPO), illustrative patient outcomes, the specialists who deliver the program, and how a cycle is structured and invested in.

Clinical Evidence

What the evidence describes

Cuba's Alzheimer's program draws on decades of biotechnology and neurorehabilitation research. These summaries outline the scientific basis — not a guarantee of individual results.

NeuroEPO and neuroprotection

Preclinical and clinical studies from Cuba's Center of Molecular Immunology describe low-sialic-acid erythropoietin (NeuroEPO) as a candidate neuroprotective agent, with reported effects on neuronal survival pathways and cerebral perfusion in Alzheimer's models.

Rodríguez JC et al. — Center of Molecular Immunology (CIM), Havana.

Cognitive rehabilitation intensity

Structured, repeated cognitive training targeting memory, attention, and executive function is associated with measurable gains in daily-function scales when delivered intensively in a multidisciplinary setting.

Multidisciplinary care model

Coordinated teams of neurologists, neuropsychologists, and therapists — rather than isolated single-discipline visits — are linked to better adherence and sustained functional gains in neurodegenerative care.

International consensus on neurorehabilitation program design.

Caregiver integration

Programs that formally educate and counsel caregivers report lower institutionalization rates and better home-management of behavioral symptoms across the disease trajectory.

Case Studies

Illustrative patient journeys

Composite cases reflecting typical patient profiles and reported experiences. Names and details have been changed to protect privacy.

"After the first cycle my husband started remembering small things again — our grandchildren's names, the route to the park. It gave us back moments we thought were gone."

M. Alvarez, 68

Mild Alzheimer's, MoCA 19

Improved daily-function scores after 4-week cycle

"The team didn't just treat my mother — they taught our family how to keep the gains at home. The caregiver sessions changed how we communicate with her."

R. Thompson, 72

Moderate Alzheimer's, MMSE 16

Stabilized cognition across two cycles

"I came in scared of what I was forgetting. I left with a plan, a routine, and doctors who actually called to check on me after I went home."

L. Fernández, 65

MCI (early-stage)

Slowed decline on follow-up neuropsychological testing

Specialist Team

The team around the patient

A coordinated multidisciplinary team — not a single doctor — designs and delivers each personalized Alzheimer's program.

Dr. M. Rodríguez

Neurologist — Alzheimer's & cognitive disorders

Leads diagnostic staging and the individualized treatment plan, integrating neuroimaging and neuropsychological data for each patient.

Dr. C. Pérez

Neuropsychologist

Designs and monitors the cognitive rehabilitation protocol, tracking objective gains across attention, memory, and executive function.

Lic. A. Gómez

Occupational Therapist

Translates clinical gains into real-world independence — adapting daily routines and the home environment for sustained function.

Dr. T. Sosa

Clinical Pharmacist

Coordinates symptomatic medication with the NeuralCIM® cycle, monitoring interactions and side effects throughout the program.

Lic. R. Díaz

Speech-Language Therapist

Addresses language and communication difficulties, supporting expression and comprehension where indicated.

Coord. N. Vega

Multilingual Care Coordinator

Supports international families across records, travel, and remote follow-up — bridging the Cuban clinical team and the US physician.

Program Structure & Investment
