THE OPPORTUNITY
A generation whose stories, health, and care are
under-served.
1
Stories that disappear every day
12 million people aged 65+ in the UK carry life stories that will never be recorded. No tool exists that makes it easy enough. Every year that passes, memories fade and the people who hold them age.
2
Health changes that go unnoticed
Cognitive decline is gradual. Bi-annual clinic appointments produce snapshots. The changes that matter most happen between them — invisibly, and without record.
3
A system too fragmented to provide best care
Fewer than half of healthcare professionals feel able to provide best care — not for lack of commitment, but because they are let down by a system that isn't keeping pace with the scale of the challenge. Without seamless communication between health and social care, people fall through the cracks. Delayed diagnosis. Inconsistent care. Families left trying to coordinate everything on their own.
The scale and urgency
Dementia costs the UK economy £42bn a year — a figure set to treble by 2050. Yet the system meant to support the people living with it remains fragmented, data-poor, and under-resourced.
