About Dementia Atlas

What this is

Dementia Atlas collects practical orientation: early signs, types of dementia, appointments, day-to-day care, treatments and clinical trials, a glossary, and helplines. The aim is to reduce the scramble of open tabs into a few pages you can actually use.

It is built for people who have noticed changes, people living with a diagnosis, and the people supporting them. Clinicians may find the source links useful too, but the tone is for families first.

What you will find

• First stages - early signs worth discussing with a clinician
• Appointments - what to bring and a care roadmap by stage
• Care guide - checkable, stage-aware actions you can save or print, plus a monthly memory / awareness / mood log PDF
• Treatments - approved medicines, combinations, and recruiting clinical trials
• Glossary - diagnosis terms, trial phases, pathways, and evidence basics
• Resources - urgent support and helplines

How we source it

Pages lean on public, citable material: organizations such as the Dementia Society of America, the National Institute on Aging, the Alzheimer's Association, CDC caregiving guidance, FDA labeling where treatments are discussed, and ClinicalTrials.gov for recruiting studies. Where we summarize, we try to keep the original source one click away.

Trial listings change. Eligibility, sites, and status should always be confirmed on ClinicalTrials.gov or with the study team before anyone acts on them.

Who builds it

Dementia Atlas is built by the Foundation for the Eradication of Dementia and Mental Illness. The project sits alongside related work on expanding access to pragmatic clinical research and publishing comparable outcomes so patients can reach promising care while evidence accumulates for everyone else.
