At AlzCare Labs, our mission is to create the core technology infrastructure for dementia-friendly communities worldwide.
By doing this, we will enliven the autonomy, liberty and freedom of people living with dementia through the shared efforts of their carers, families, neighbors, and private and public sector community venues.
My father developed vascular dementia, and so I became his caregiver. Through the experience which the two of us shared, I came to know the pressing need for better ways to live well with dementia. Seeing first the innovations at the Hogeway dementia village in Amsterdam, and then seeing the thought leadership in the UK on dementia friendly communities, I made a decision. I decided to bring together the best talent in Silicon Valley in order to build the communications channels, and Internet of Things support, for the grass roots movement for dementia-friendly communities.
In the 1860s, the first transcontinental railway was built in the U.S, connecting isolated towns and cities everywhere. Today, we're building the software platform, MyDementiaVillage, to connect the isolated dementia friendly communities across the globe--from Singapore, to Duluth, Minnesota to Bracknell-Forest, England. MyDementiaVillage will provide the essential connections for dementia friendly communities of the 21st century.
If My Dementia Village is the railway, then PreSafe is the first railroad car. PreSafe is our simple, wearable safety beacon that warns families if their loved one with dementia is in harm's way...whether the harm is from cold, or dangerous traffic, or risky waterways, to name a few of the hazards that PreSafe protects against. Presafe will notify you at all times, and help you, your family, and your community to locate and relieve your loved one from any danger.
Our Dementia Friendly Grader is your community's way of giving yourself a report card on just how dementia friendly you are, including guidance on how to get even better
