Expert Committee
The committee of experts is a composed group of leading, independent experts who make a valued contribution from their own discipline to improving the autonomy, self-reliance, quality of life of people with dementia and the optimization of care provision.
Business Experts from companies, healthcare institutions, government, and science together develop dedicated products that meet the demands of people living with dementia, reduce the demand for care, and improve the affordability of care.
JAIN's multidisciplinary projects, for example "QoLEAD" which has been designed by JAIN, are developed in the form of private-public collaboration projects, involving end users, people with memory loss and the system in which they participate; informal care, healthcare institutions, universities, high schools and the government to develop products that meet the needs of end users.
JAIN considers lateral knowledge exchange between the Dutch leading R&D projects ABOARD, YOD, SPREAD+ and QoLEAD important, see page Dutch R&D projects. JAIN would like to ensure that scientific insights from these projects land in the robust learning JAIN network of healthcare institutes, knowledge institutions, spin-offs, start-ups and scale-ups, government, health insurers and investment companies, so that they can be quickly translated into innovative products and services.
