Dementia Innovation Readiness Index 2020
Aging and urbanization are the twin defining trends of our time. As societies age and dementia becomes more common, the 2020 Dementia Innovation Readiness Index issues a clear call to city-level leaders and help cities learn from each other on how to best manage this great, global challenge to health and social care. The top five performing cities in the Index were London, Glasgow, Manchester, Amsterdam and Vancouver.
Among the 30 cities profiled, assessments reveal that London and Glasgow lead in strategy and commitment and community support for individuals living with dementia, as local associations play a pivotal role in the formation of the national response on dementia. Measured against 26 indicators and across five categories, including strategy and commitment, early detection and diagnosis, access to care, community support, and business environment, findings revealed that while leadership is present throughout the global community to meet the overwhelming demands for quality dementia care, significant gaps persist.
