Dementia is an urgent global challenge with enormous health and economic cost to Australia. While the hope is for a cure, the number with dementia is growing and diagnosis is often delayed by ~3 years. This project will use innovative neurocognitive methods to achieve earlier diagnosis and develop tailored treatments. This will enhance or maintain function, promoting independence and community living, improving the quality of life and care for persons living with dementia.

痴呆症是一项紧迫的全球挑战，给澳大利亚带来巨大的健康和经济损失。虽然治愈的希望是存在的，但痴呆症患者人数正在不断增加，而且诊断往往会延迟约 3 年。该项目将使用创新的神经认知方法来实现早期诊断并开发量身定制的治疗方法。这将增强或维持功能，促进独立和社区生活，改善生活质量并照顾痴呆症患者。
