Finally to Japan, where it's estimated that one in five people over the age of 65 is living with dementia or early symptoms of the condition.
The challenge may seem overwhelming, but as Suranjana Tiwari reports, local tech companies are trying to help.
Tech companies are also developing new ways to screen for dementia.
Shuffling while walking, slowing down or difficulty in turning, changes in how a person moves can be some of the earliest signs of the condition.
AIGATE analyzes posture and movement using skeleton recognition.

Until next time, goodbye.
You're listening to the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service. Hello, I'm Oliver Conway. We're recording this at 15 hours GMT on Wednesday the 22nd of October. JD Vance meets Benjamin Netanyahu warning of a tough task ahead to disarm Hamas and rebuild Gaza. Peru's new president declares a state of emergency to combat rising crime. And the former French leader Nicolas Sarkozy gets police protection in jail following alleged death threats.
People were not stepping out of their homes because of the heavy rains and destruction. But still Kamala came to vaccinate our child. That is an act of real bravery. The Indian health worker who risks her own life to vaccinate babies.
The visit to Israel by the US Vice President J.D. Vance is seen as an attempt by the Americans to keep the Gaza ceasefire on track, amid reported concerns that the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to collapse the agreement and restart the fighting. Despite an outbreak of violence on Sunday, the US Vice President said he was optimistic the truce would hold. And arriving for a meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister in Jerusalem, he said the US was determined to stay the course.
Israel and Hamas have accused each other of repeated breaches of the truce amid outbreaks of violence and disagreements over the pace of returning hostage bodies. According to the Hamas-run health ministry, Israel has killed at least 87 Palestinians since the ceasefire began. In central Gaza this morning, drone footage showed a mass burial site for the bodies of unidentified Palestinians handed over by Israel in exchange for the remains of dead Israelis.
Yola Nell in Jerusalem. Following the clashes on Sunday, Israel said it would stop aid deliveries into Gaza, though it later relented, apparently under US pressure. Today the head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, told us that despite the ceasefire agreement, not enough aid and medical supplies were getting into the Strip, and he called on Israel not to impose restrictions. He spoke to Anna Foster about conditions in Gaza.
If you take the famine and then combine it with a mental health problem that we see, which is rampant, the situation is a crisis for generations to come.
There was a promise for massive scale-up and 600 trucks per day. Now average is between 200 to 300. So that's not really what we expected. And the other problem is the crossings. We need multiple crossings, all available crossings. So if there are no multiple crossings, then it's very difficult to scale up. Speaking directly to those politicians who are making political decisions about aid, what is your message to them?
The innocent people should not be impacted by these political decisions. Food aid and medical services should not be weaponized unless the remains of some of the hostages are transferred. Israel said it wouldn't allow transfer of or scale up of food aid or humanitarian aid. And this should not be, to be honest, put as a condition.
There should be unconditional transfer of aid to those who need it. I ask Israel to not put conditions and scale up massively as agreed as part of the peace deal.
Kuinka pitäisi mennä? Kuinka paljon pitäisi tehdä, jotta Gaza voisi elää uudestaan? Tarkoittaen tietenkin suuria vaikeuksia, joita oli strippin aikana, ennen kuin vaara alkoi.
