Lyon (France) May 13th 2008 – After the coming out of the family blog “ViaFamilia”, the French company ActivAge has just launched http://en.alzheimer-360.com, the first news website entirely dedicated to the Alzheimer disease.
Alzheimer disease is the main form of dementia in developed countries and statistics are always more alarming. According to the World Health Organization, about 25 million people worldwide are concerned by Alzheimer disease and this is expected to increase to 81 million in 2040.
In order to allow any person concerned by the disease (seniors, professionals, associations…) to quickly find information about the disease, the website “Alzheimer 360” gathers all the news about this brain disease, on a single website and in real time.
The website offers an access to the latest news and also functionalities such as:
– Search by keywords
– Filling of all news
– Free subscription to a newsletter to receive the last news about Alzheimer disease everyday or every week
Franck Durandot, ActivAge founder and manager explained: “With ViaFamilia, we wanted seniors and their families to enjoy internet and now, with “Alzheimer 360″, we want to go further and thanks to our services to allow anybody to find easily all the news about the Alzheimer disease. On the same pattern, we are currently developping other news websites about new themes dedicated to seniors.”
The website “Alzheimer 360” also exists in French, German, Italian and Spanish so that everyone in the world concerned by the disease could benefit from this service.
