Dementia Australia
Dementia Australia was today acknowledged with top 10 inclusion in the 2020 AFR Boss Most Innovative Companies List for the tablet app, A Better Visit™.
Dementia Australia CEO Maree McCabe said it was an honour to be recognised for the app which was designed to help families enjoy ‘a better visit’ with loved ones living with dementia.
“We are proud to be included in the Government, Education and Not-for-profit category across Australia and New Zealand,” Ms McCabe said.
“This award demonstrates our commitment to utilising world-first applications of serious games and virtual reality technologies as a point of difference, globally and advocating for and influencing changes in dementia policy and practice.
“And – our commitment to enabling everyone who visits a loved one with dementia to have fun and enjoy their time together.”
The prestigious annual list, published by The Australian Financial Review and Boss Magazine, is based on an assessment of a top innovation implemented in the past two years – specifically, the judges look at how valuable the problem is that the innovation is solving, the quality and uniqueness of the solution, and the level of impact that the innovation has had.
The judges also consider internal elements such as innovation culture, strategy, resources and process, which demonstrate a sustainable and repeatable approach to innovation.
