For families
Worried about memory, or changes in someone you love? Earlier understanding can help.
Noticing change in yourself or someone close to you can be unsettling. DementiaDetect is being developed to help make sense of early changes, calmly and with care, so you can take the next step with greater confidence.
What to know
You know your loved ones best
The earliest signs of change are often small, and easy to explain away. A repeated question. A different sleep pattern. A pause to find a familiar word.
- Subtle changes can be genuinely difficult to interpret on your own
- Families often notice changes before formal systems do
- DementiaDetect aims to help recognise meaningful patterns earlier
- It is not a diagnosis, and it does not replace your doctor
- It can help guide whether further support or assessment may be helpful
What DementiaDetect could offer families
A calmer, clearer way to understand early changes over time, and a sense of when it may be worth speaking to a healthcare professional. The aim is to reduce uncertainty and give you more time to plan, prepare and access support.
Families often notice what systems cannot yet see. DementiaDetect is being built to take those observations seriously.
Common questions
Questions families often ask
Is this a dementia test or diagnosis?
No. DementiaDetect is being developed as a support tool that may help surface early patterns of change. It is not a diagnostic test, and it does not replace assessment by a qualified healthcare professional.
What should I do if I am worried right now?
If you are concerned about memory, confusion or cognitive change, please speak to your GP or a qualified healthcare professional. They can talk through your concerns and advise on next steps.
How is personal data handled?
Privacy is central to how DementiaDetect is being built. Information would only ever be used with clear, informed consent, and you would stay in control of what is shared. You can read more on our Responsible AI page.
