CrossSense announced as the winner of the Longitude Prize on Dementia
CrossSense has been announced as the winner of the £1m Longitude Prize on Dementia.
CrossSense is a personalised AI-powered assistant, developed for smart glasses, that identifies everyday objects and guides people living with early-stage dementia through daily activities, with the aim of supporting them to live safely in their own homes for longer.
Szczepan Orlins, CEO of CrossSense Ltd, says:
“The technology is designed to support daily living, integrating multiple senses to simplify essential tasks. We’re grateful to the people living with dementia and their families who helped shape it. This win brings us closer to making CrossSense available to the public within the next year.”
Dame Wendy Hall, Chair of the Longitude Committee, says:
“CrossSense captures exactly the kind of revolutionary AI the Longitude Prize set out to support. The team’s progress over the past three years has been remarkable – their expertise, co-design approach and focus on personalised AI, built on existing smart glasses hardware, truly set them apart.
While only one winner can be chosen, every finalist has developed innovations that will have a positive impact and make life easier for people with dementia and their families. The prize has helped accelerate multiple solutions that will soon be available.”
