Vision
To reduce the impact of dementia, it is crucial that we create global awareness campaigns about dementia for a young audience. We need to encourage intergenerational awareness about dementia.
Strategy
Currently, Swati is working on a digital cognitive training program for remote usage for persons with dementia. This can help with outreach when resources are limited and make a wider impact on improving the wellbeing of people with dementia and their carers.
Impact
Swati aims to develop a digital ecosystem of non-pharmacological interventions for dementia management and create early awareness campaigns.

There is huge treatment gap in dementia management between service users and providers. Swati aims to develop a national dementia strategy with minimal resources.
