Increased longevity has led to dementia being one of the most pressing medical and social issues of our time. There is increasing urgency for the public to be better educated about how to prevent dementia.
I chose to support the development of this Dementia e-Portal to consolidate Asia-centric knowledge on prevention for dementia, management and self-help content, and to incorporate the best practices of Mind Science Centre’s community research findings. This initiative aims to encourage opportune discovery of credible, insightful, and relevant content, as well as to bridge close-knit connections in the community through active sharing of experiences and resources.

Mind Science Centre has been at the forefront of ageing and mental health research for the past decade. Our work has been published in numerous top-tier journals and was also presented at the World Health Congress. The Dementia Asia e-Portal aims to extend our Asia-centric, evidence-based knowledge to the community at large. Through this, we hope to build stronger connections between health professionals, researchers, caregivers, and the general population, thus building a community with An Undefeated Mind.

Over the past decade, Mind Science Centre has led research on ageing, dementia prevention, and mental health. The research was headed by Prof Kua Ee Heok, A/Prof Rathi Mahendran, and many other accomplished collaborators from NUS and NUHS.

It has also been presented at numerous symposiums including the World Congress of Psychiatry.
Dementia Asia is an initiative to bring Mind Science Centre’s research from the academic community closer to the general public. It aims to bridge close-knit connections in the community through active sharing of experiences and resources. This is in line with the centre’s mission of capacity-building to promote communities with an Undefeated Mind.
