What is PAN?

The Precision Aging® Network (PAN) is a partnership focused on sustaining healthy minds for life. PAN’s approach is to discover personalized solutions to improve brain health.

We seek your help to answer critical questions.

  • What impacts healthy brain function as we age?
  • How can we achieve optimal brain function across our entire lives?
  • How can we predict, prevent, or slow unwanted changes in brain health?

Get Involved

PAN has partnered with MindCrowd to start a diverse study of the adult brain. MindCrowd currently includes over 689,165 participants across the United States. We want to involve at least 1 million people like you. MindCrowd is the entry point to the PAN projects and more options to help find ways to optimize brain health across the lifespan.

Closing the Gap Between Cognitive Healthspan and Human Lifespan

I have shared with my parents – thankfully both are in good physical health and continue to demonstrate strong mental function– as well as with my sister and her partner – both in their 50s like me – a bit about my experience in Healthy Minds for Life.

They approached the research with enthusiasm and a genuine desire to help people: professional caring and demonstrated a high level of expertise, provided excellent care, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process, (and) showed respect, patience, and skill.

Dear PAN Team! What a pleasant surprise to meet you and get to know you. You possess the kind, patient, understanding heart needed to truly help others. I was very happy to help and be part of your study. Hope you learn many things. Keep up the great work you’re doing for us.

George, Miami

I was not sure if my contribution was important, but after talking to you and completing the MRI and some of the games I see how important this study could be.

Maria, Miami

I joined your study because I am afraid of Alzheimer’s. It was great to meet you and the team. I hope my participation helps you meet your goals!

Our Mission

The Precision Aging® Network (PAN) brings together a nationwide team of established scientists and community partners to discover how best to optimize brain health across the lifespan.

PAN’s method is novel, creating a framework for a precision medicine approach to predict individual brain health risks and discover personalized solutions to maximize our own individual cognitive healthspan.
