Together with Keio University’s Center for Wellbeing Research, issue+design, and the Dementia Friendship Club, Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) – a non-partisan and non-profit independent think-tank working under the theme of realizing citizen-based healthcare policies – has launched the Designing for Dementia to pursue a vision of a future in which people with dementia lead better lives.
The goal of Designing for Dementia is by creating plans based on the experiences and wisdom of people living with dementia in cooperation with people with dementia, their families and caregivers; community residents; healthcare, nursing care, and welfare practitioners; businesses; municipalities and related ministries and organizations; and researchers to accelerate the transition to this future.
