Following the guide Accelerating Transformation: How to Develop Effective NHS-Industry Partnerships by APBI and the NHS Confederation, Health Innovation Network South London’s work in dementia is showing this in action.

This session will outline how partnerships between the NHS, industry and academia are the catalyst needed to drive transformative change in dementia care. By harnessing the collective expertise and resources of these sectors, we can optimise diagnosis and care pathways, tackle health inequalities and prepare the NHS for the integration of pioneering new therapies.

Attendees will have the opportunity to share practical learning from the dementia tech horizon scan conducted with experts from King’s College London’s Centre for Brain Health, alongside experts at Health Innovation Network South London on the Mindset immersive tech programme and Neu Health which turns patients’ smartphones into medical devices for accessible care, acting as a care companion and data capture platform, monitoring cognition, and helping patients with dementia to live independently, stay at home longer and reduce need for higher acuity care.

The session will also emphasise the role of innovation in reducing health inequalities and improving outcomes for all affected by dementia.
