IN-MIND – Innovative, Midlife Intervention for Dementia Deterrence

IN-MIND is a four country FP7 European funded project which seeks to develop and validate online tools to help doctors assess if an individual’s lifestyle supports long term brain health. The project also generate personal strategies for adopting a brain healthy lifestyle and provide on-line supports to help people in midlife implement and adhere to positive change.

Neuro-Enhancement for Independent Lives – NEIL

NEIL is an umbrella programme, comprised of several large-scale research initiatives that look for new ways to enhance cognitive function in older adults and to delay or prevent dementia in at risk populations. Research projects include RelAte: A relationship-based mealtime intervention for older adults living alone, CST, the development of a Caregiver Support Tool and the development of a range of educational resources for academics, health practitioners and members of the general public.
