Innovation to improve life quality
an initiative by
Dementia is a broad, and delicate term. It is a wide-ranging condition that can imply the loss of several faculties such as memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities.
Besides connecting the ecosystem, Building Tomorrow Together – Innovation in Dementia aim is to create the needed awareness for dementia, in particular Alzheimer’s, establishing the dialogue and addressing the needs of this community, solving its challenges.
A Life of Challenges
As overall capacity to treat dementia is limited, we’re looking at the need to improve the care and support provided to people with dementia and their caregivers, and encourage cooperation among healthcare professionals.
The digital health technologies’ help in this area is still to be explored in depth.
It can help both the lives of patients with dementia as well as the lives of the people surrounding them, whether by clarifying the doubts and stigma that mark this disease, or to help in their daily life – from early diagnostics to the remaining patient journey.
A World of Solutions
The main objective of Building Tomorrow Together is to connect the best startups and the program’s partners – the relevant stakeholders in the dementia ecosystem – to test solutions in an open innovation environment.
The program will be focusing on the patients’ journey and their well-being, bringing innovation and technology as an extra layer of help and improvement in the area, in particular.
