Final report – Digital solutions in Alzheimer and Dementia

We are happy to share the result of an internal project we have done to analyse the digital solutions in Alzheimer and Dementia.

The aim with the project was to evaluate if it was possible to create an overview of the different tools and the role they may have in the management of the disease.

While working on the project it became apparent that this is an area where digital health may disrupt the way we see healthcare in the future. Rather than being centred about the doctor / health care system it will hopefully be centred around the empowered patient. There is evolving evidence that exercise and food may impact the progression of the disease. What if there would be ways to support individuals at risk to understand how they may impact the future progression?

Here are some interesting categories we found (59 companies in total):

• Ability to detect disease based on movements in the eye
• Speech recognition
• Analysis of brain images
• Different biomarkers
• Training for care-givers
• Communication with relatives
• ..

Please feel free to share the insights from this project, referencing the source. We hope that this project will trigger some to continue the focus of an integrated patient centric digital platform.

 Below is a visual presentation of the results from the analysis regarding 5 dimensions.

• Category of solutions
• Stage of disease
• Primary setting of use
• Primary user
