What this research studies
This program aims to find and support promising new technologies that can improve the lives of older adults living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, and their caregivers. We are especially interested in technologies that can help overcome challenges in getting care, both in the US and around the world. This includes funding smaller projects that use artificial intelligence to develop tools for patient care, diagnosis, system management, and caregiver support. Our goal is to help these new ideas grow into useful products that truly benefit people.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: This program is designed to ultimately benefit older adults living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, along with their caregivers.
Not a fit: Patients not affected by Alzheimer's disease or related dementias would not directly benefit from the technologies developed through this specific program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could lead to innovative tools and services that make daily life easier, improve care access, and enhance the well-being of individuals with dementia and their families.
How similar studies have performed: While this program focuses on funding new pilot projects, similar efforts to apply technology and AI in healthcare have shown promise in other areas, suggesting a strong potential for success here.
