Vision
Dementia is characterized by its complexity and broad societal impact, making it poorly suited to siloed approaches of thinking and innovation. We need multidisciplinary teams that build creative solutions to reduce the scale and impact of dementia.
Strategy
Erin is focused on developing technology to build an objective, personalized, and preemptive brain health future. She also works on developing neuroscience-inspired policy to put brain health at the center of economic and societal recovery and resilience.
Impact
As an Atlantic Fellow, Erin aims to develop technologies for a precision-medicine approach to dementia care. She also hopes to develop new approaches to dementia that address the social, economic, political, scientific, and technological components of care.
Motivation
Erin believes that the 21st century will be defined by our collective response to the current brain health crisis. Dementia care remains inaccessible, reactive, and one size fits all. We need innovative solutions across the entire continuum of dementia care.
