CPEC at LSE to support assessment of Longitude Prize on Dementia finalists
Challenge Works, the organisation responsible for delivering the Longitude Prize on Dementia initiative, has partnered with the Care Policy and Evaluation Centre (CPEC) at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) to assess the merits of the five Longitude Prize on Dementia finalists.
CPEC will work with Challenge Works to assess the technologies and evaluate development processes, impact on quality of life and what, if any, further resources might improve the products. The CPEC team will also provide independent analysis to two panels that are key to the final decision on a winner: The Lived-Experience Advisory Panel and The Judging Panel.
Martin Knapp, Professor of Health and Social Care Policy at LSE, says:
“Advanced assistive technology holds immense potential in revolutionising the lives of people with dementia. Using the best possible evaluation process for this prize, in collaboration with colleagues at Challenge Works and the finalists themselves, we can help ensure these products can make a real difference.”
