Innovation Readiness Index

The Innovation Readiness Indexes are a series of reports produced in collaboration with the Global Coalition on Aging (GCOA) which aim to determine the readiness of countries to manage the global issue of dementia.

The report series

In collaboration with the Global Coalition on Aging (GCOA), each report aims to comprehensively survey, quantify and analyse the readiness of countries, regions or cities, in order to prompt and guide discussions regarding how to best develop and implement innovative solutions for dementia.

“These Innovation Indexes, provide a dynamic complement to ADI’s annual ‘From plan to impact’ reports, looking at progress towards the action areas of the WHO Global action plan on dementia. Innovation and collaboration are essential in terms of national, regional and local responses to this truly global challenge and one of the biggest health and care crisis on the century”. Chris Lynch, Deputy CEO, ADI
