For clinicians
When families use Ahead, they come to you with an organised, dated record of what they've observed at home — not a vague "Mum's been a bit off lately." Better history, in less time.
A 2025 systematic review across 30,257 patients found the average interval from symptom onset to dementia diagnosis is 3.5 years — longer still in young-onset disease. Much of what happens in that window is observed only at home, by family. Ahead is designed to stop that collateral history being lost before it reaches you.

Why it helps your consult
Family observations are valuable context — but they're easily lost or half-remembered by appointment time. Ahead captures them as they happen.
Observations grouped across nine everyday domains and ordered by date, so the picture is legible at a glance.
Less time reconstructing the story from memory, more time for assessment and the conversation that matters.
Because notes are timestamped, you can see whether things have been steady or changing over recent weeks.
How it reaches you
Carers and relatives note what they observe at home, in their own words, over time.
When they see you, they open or send a PIN-protected summary. No clinician account required.
You get organised collateral history to inform your own assessment — entirely on your clinical judgement.
Ahead does not assess, screen, score, or suggest a diagnosis, and is not a medical device or clinical decision tool. It organises lay observations recorded by families. All interpretation, assessment and diagnosis remain entirely a matter for you and your clinical judgement.
