Innovation at Alzheimer's Society

Our Innovation team co-create, search for and accelerate the best new and innovative solutions to provide help and hope for people living with dementia (people living with dementia and carers).

People living with dementia are integral to the way we work in innovation. We are led by the priorities of people living with dementia, learn from their experiences and ultimately measure success by the difference we make to their lives.
