Dementia India Alliance

The organisation recognizes the urgent need for early diagnosis and management of dementia in India, where the majority remain undiagnosed due to limited memory clinics. Through its programme, it aims to provide timely diagnoses, expert access, and confidential assessments, reducing the need for travel and the stigma associated with the condition. Leveraging telemedicine, it offers comprehensive services including memory screening, dementia assessments, expert management, and follow-up through interactive videoconferencing. Its initiative addresses the treatment gap by overcoming challenges such as distance, expert scarcity, and clinical service costs, thereby extending the initial phase of dementia through various interventions, both medical and non-medical while supporting caregivers and enhancing the quality of life for individuals and families affected by dementia.

The organisation's National Dementia Support Line extends accessible and comprehensive assistance to individuals and families navigating the complexities of dementia. Through free services like information, support, and guidance, it promotes timely diagnosis and intervention, including online memory screening, to enhance the quality of life for seniors, individuals with dementia, and their families. Trained psychologists and social workers lead the initiative, offering empathetic and informed assistance to address callers' needs effectively.
