Senior Consumer Insights & Marketing Executive | Data Analytics Expert | DEI-Focused Digital Engagement Innovator
Caring for someone with Alzheimer's disease or dementia can be exhausting, overwhelming, and challenging. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), more than 11 million family members and other unpaid caregivers provided an estimated 18.4 billion hours of care to people with Alzheimer's or other dementias in 2023. Unpaid dementia caregiving was valued at $346.6 billion in 2023. In partnership with Alzheimer's Foundation of America, Sharecare Life Sciences’ Patient Experience Lab surveyed our consumer and HCP audiences about their knowledge and experiences with Alzheimer's and dementia.
