Dementia care calls for innovation

This eJourney will help you to think out of the box

Currently, 50 million people are living with Alzheimer's, according to the World Health Organization. In Japan's hyper-aged society, currently 4.6 million citzens are living with a type of dementia such as Alzheimer's. And this number is expected to rise significantly as the population ages.

Studies show that 43% of this population needs a high level of care equivalent to that of a nursing home, adding dramatically to the pressure over the dementia care sector.

This unsettling context has urged Mr. Tadasuke Kato to think out of the box in the expansion of dementia care. AOI Care is the outstanding outcome of this effort, a new model combining efficiency and quality of life in dementia care.
