Description
Cecilia Anza-Ramirez and co-authors, with the IMPACT Dementia Study Group, design a phone-based system to find dementia in Peru and weigh its cost. Dementia is under-diagnosed in lower-income countries, where specialists are scarce and awareness low. Their 2025 paper describes a project with phases: first build a mobile screening and diagnosis system with local partners, then test it, then judge cost-effectiveness at population scale. Carers are part of the design, since families carry most dementia care.
A screening tool only helps if the system behind it can act on a positive result. The economic arm asks whether population screening pays for itself in a stretched budget. The authors set out the plan and its early steps. Their work targets a real diagnostic gap in a specific country, not a demo market.
