There is growing evidence that technologies such as deep brain stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation could help treat some of the effects of dementia and brain-computer interfaces are now able to detect the first signs of dementia years before symptoms appear.

In collaboration with UK Dementia Research Institute, this webinar explores novel neurotechnologies to treat dementia, discuss barriers to adoption and new opportunities in the field.

This webinar is part of a 2-hour monthly series hosted by the Neurotechnology Innovation Network: https://ktn-uk.org/health/neurotechnology/

Each webinar features expert speakers and focusses on a new development in a different technology area. The third topic in this series is Dementia treatment using a biodesign approach. Dementia can have enormous effects, not only to those suffering but also family members and others caring for them, but there are currently no effective therapies available. Neurotechnology offers a new way of treating dementia.

The Neurotechnology Innovation Network will help transfer knowledge from academia to the fast-growing industry sector and will provide a vital meeting place between clinicians and technologists. The aims of this Innovation Network are to grow the neurotechnology community and accelerate innovation through cross-sector collaborations.
