The DEDICATE architecture conceptual framework for dynamic evolution. The horizontal axis represents the dementia journey with four main stages, namely identification, early stage, middle stage, and final stage. The blue arrow represents the needs at each stage, with specific focus on the first three stages (the final stage needs are dashed).
