Digital health for dementia in Peru

A community health worker in rural Peru holds out her arms in front of an elderly woman who mimics her doing the same as part of a dementia screening procedure. They are in a simple wooden home with a dirt floor and Peruvian flag hanging in the background.

This NIHR project is in collaboration with Dr Christopher Butler MA PhD FRCP and a team or researchers at Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia in Lima, Peru. We are co-designing with community health workers across the diverse regions of Peru including the Andes, Amazon, coast and Lima, to develop digital pathways to scalable support for people with dementia and their carers.
