Moneta Health Recognized With ASHA Changemaker Award for Redefining Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy

BOSTON, November 20, 2023 — Moneta Health, a company pioneering a new category of at-home cognitive care, today announced it was recognized with a prestigious Changemaker Session award at the 2023 American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) Convention. The award spotlights Moneta's innovative telehealth platform, which is radically improving access to Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy (CRT) for older adults with cognitive decline.

The ASHA Convention is the premier gathering for speech-language pathologists, and Moneta's presentation was selected as one of just 117 Changemaker Sessions out of more than 3,400 submissions. This special designation recognizes transformative clinical work that has the potential to create significant positive change and contribute to new best practices in the field.

Moneta's one-hour seminar, "Filling the Gap for Early Cognitive Decline: An Innovative Telehealth Platform for Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy," was presented by members of its clinical leadership team, including Rebecca Vaughan-Darwish, Susan Kane, Erin Smith and Jessie Ng. The session detailed Moneta's unique model, which uses a custom-built audio platform to deliver evidence-based CRT entirely over the phone, removing barriers like internet access, apps, or travel.

"Being recognized as a Changemaker by ASHA is a tremendous honor and a powerful validation of our mission," said Rebecca Vaughan Darwish, Director of Clinical Services at Moneta Health. "For too long, effective cognitive care has been out of reach for many. We are proving that by combining the expertise of licensed therapists with accessible technology, we can deliver meaningful, life-changing outcomes to patients right where they are".

The data presented by Moneta demonstrates the platform's significant impact:

• Meaningful Clinical Progress: 93% of participants reported progress toward at least one cognitive goal.

• Exceptional Patient Satisfaction: The program achieved a Net Promoter Score of 85, with 92% of participants choosing to continue with an optional second month of therapy.

"Our model is designed around the patient. By leveraging an audio-only platform, we are not just increasing convenience; we are building a truly equitable solution," said Jessie Ng, Clinical Operations Lead at Moneta Health. "The high satisfaction and adherence rates show that when you remove barriers and deliver personalized, effective therapy, patients are deeply engaged and achieve remarkable results".

By delivering clinically proven outcomes through a more accessible and engaging platform, Moneta Health is setting a new standard for cognitive care and empowering millions of older adults to maintain their independence and live fuller lives.
