    Jelly treats for people with dementia


    Lewis Hornby invented Jelly Drops, a hydrating treat for people with dementia, after his grandmother was hospitalised for dehydration.
    Dehydration is a serious problem for people with dementia as they often forget or don't want to drink, and Lewis hopes his invention, which is 90% water, can help.
    Lewis has won several awards for his creation, including the Helen Hamlyn Design Award, the Snowdon Award for Disability and the DESIRE Award for Social Impact.

    Protein misfolding disorders, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases and type II diabetes, which are progressive and still incurable, are rapidly becoming the greatest threat to modern healthcare, with over 40 million people worldwide suffering from dementia and over 300 million people from type II diabetes.
    To respond to this challenge, the research carried out at the Centre for Misfolding Diseases (CMD) focuses on:

    • Understanding the molecular processes underlying diseases related to age and lifestyle;
    • Discovering fundamentally new ways of prolonging the health of ageing populations;
    • Shifting the emphasis from treatment to the prevention of such conditions;
    • Reducing risks and costs associated with them by early diagnosis and timely intervention.
