Project iRemember aims to provide free physical and cognitive health screening for the elderly population in Singapore. Through the cognitive screenings, we hope to identify patients at risk or suspected of cognitive impairment, and refer them to appropriate follow-up services for intervention as well as to invite them to the activities we organise to keep them actively involved in their communities. Additionally, we aim to raise awareness and rectify common public misconceptions on dementia. Hence, we hope to encourage the public to participate in early screening and highlight the healthcare resources available. This project was first started in September 2014, when we held our first pilot screening at Taman Jurong, and subsequently we held screenings in Woodlands and Chong Pang. Currently, we have 2 screenings each year at different locations and we also hold pre-event forums with speakers from our partner organisations to give talks on dementia to the public.
