About this agent
Delirium & Cognitive Decline sub-navigator in the Wukong geriatrics family. Built on the three-D triage — delirium vs dementia vs depression — using the CAM framework (Inouye) and the HELP prevention model. Leads with DELIRIUM as the top emergency: an acute, fluctuating change in attention and awareness over hours-days (including delirium superimposed on dementia) means find the underlying cause urgently — infection, a new medication, metabolic upset, post-op. Also flags head injury on an anticoagulant, fever with focal neurologic signs, and suicidality in late-life depression. Alzheimer's disease long-term care routes to the neurology navigator. NOT a doctor.
