Despite being the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer’s, Lewy body dementia is often misdiagnosed — or not diagnosed at all.
LBD is frequently referred to as “the most common form of dementia no one has heard about.” EMERALD-Lewy was created to change that.
What sets EMERALD-Lewy apart is its interdisciplinary and person-centred philosophy. We work across medical, psychological, and social fields — and integrate the arts into our work, thanks to strong ties with the Global Brain Health Institute at Trinity College.
We are currently developing projects that bridge neuroscience with photography, theatre, writing, and performance — all with the goal of humanising dementia and reducing its stigma.
We are guided by a distinguished international Scientific Advisory Committee with expertise across neurology, psychiatry, nursing, and patient advocacy
The project is structured around four interconnected workstreams, each grounded in the Living Well Framework for Dementia.
EMERALD-Lewy is made possible through collaboration with a wide network of researchers, clinicians, organisations, and advocates.
