Brief Description of Requirement Introduction This is a specification for the process evaluation of the Longitude Prize on Dementia (LPoD), partly funded by Innovate UK and MRC and delivered by Challenge Works.
The purpose of this evaluation is to assess the processes surrounding delivery of this prize, as a new venture between the partner organisations.
Background to the requirement In September 2022, Challenge Works launched the Longitude Prize on Dementia (LPoD).
Funded by the Alzheimer's Society, Innovate UK and the Medical Research Council, the prize aims to incentivise innovators to develop assistive technologies to help people affected by dementia to remain independent in their homes, to slow the disease's progression.
Participating teams will be challenged to create technologies that learn about the lives of people with early-stage dementia, employing machine learning and artificial intelligence to bridge cognitive gaps as their condition progresses.
Over £4.34 million in seed funding and grants will be awarded to the most promising innovators, with a £1 million prize awarded to the winner of the Longitude Prize on Dementia in February 2026.
Funding partners The Longitude Prize on Dementia is funded by Alzheimer's Society, Innovate UK and the Medical Research Council.
