Ecosystem Map Reveals Innovative Collaborations, Care Pathways, and Technologies for Dementia
What is it about?
"The Dementia Ideal Care Map provides a visual summary of dementia best practices from around the world in one compact tool for everyone in the dementia ecosystem—including people living with dementia; their family, friends, and communities; policymakers, employers, health system leaders, clinicians, social services providers, educators; researchers, technology entrepreneurs, and investors."
Why is it important?
The Dementia Ideal Care Map is unique from other dementia resources as one comprehensive map encompassing: * The whole ecosystem of relevant groups * The life course journey from childhood, risk reduction, public awareness, community-based supports, and innovative care pathways for timely diagnosis and medical treatments involving community partners and Virtual Brain Health Clinics; * The role of policy, funding, research, training, health system readiness, and other infrastructure; * And nearly 100 technology solutions, including AI, recommendation engines, sensors, remote monitoring, telehealth, data infrastructure, digital biomarkers and digital health tools. This approach can also be adapted to other chronic or complex conditions (such as other neuro disorders, rare disease, common cardiometabolic conditions, long covid, and general aging).
