OlfactoryHealth.org is a hub of knowledge to promote awareness surrounding smell and its relationship to wellbeing and brain health.

 

The sense of smell is one of the greatest indicators of brain health and can detect the earliest signs of neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s). To date, nothing is being done to implement smell testing into our healthcare system. This website aims to promote public awareness about how we can better support and develop services in this area for early detection of dementia and better overall health.

 

This is the public engagement component of a PhD project by Jamie Knight at the University of Victoria
