We investigate early diagnostics and modifiable risk & protective factors for dementia worldwide using automated tests of cognition, gait, activity and physiology.

Design

Our Design Research includes Department of Health sponsored research to review evidence based dementia design and AHRC (Design Star) research to develop Human Factors & Ergonomics guidance for dementia care environments working with UK and USA architects.
