About this listen

In the first episode of Collected by Unum Co., Farah and Megan sit down with Dr. Saskia Sivananthan—a leading data scientist and neuroscientist specializing in dementia and other neurological conditions. Together, they explore how stories, systems, and stigma shape the way we think about brain health.

From her early experiences as a neighbour and caregiver to her work influencing pan-Canadian policy, Saskia shares how compassion and design thinking can transform the future of dementia care.

It’s a conversation about dignity, advocacy, and what it means to stay human in health care.

Learn more about the work Dr. Sivananthan is doing at The Brainwell Institute.
