We know the measures in place to stop the spread of coronavirus bring unique challenges for families across the country and especially for those impacted by dementia.

Our Chief Medical Officer offers some suggested ways families can stay connected and safe during this time.

This 18 seconds is probably the best single piece of advice I’ve heard about the #coronavirus

[Liz Allen @Ultramarine25]

We launched such an important global project @AlzResearchUK today! We need to detect the devastating diseases that cause #dementia 10-15 years before symptoms show. Big data and digital technology will get us there👇🏻

[Alzheimer's Research UK @AlzResearchUK]

Diseases like Alzheimer’s begin damaging the brain up to two decades before symptoms show. Our new global initiative will use data from wearables to detect brain changes much earlier and open up a vital new window to target future treatments.
