Vision
To reduce the scale and impact of dementia, Inbal believes we need to acknowledge the magnitude of this problem and its impact on our society. Then, we can create solutions for the day-to-day management of this disease, not just handle emergencies.

Inbal is practicing and building different models of care, trying to find a balance between giving the patients the best care, reducing hospitalization, and tailoring personal treatment options.
Impact
As an Atlantic Fellow, Inbal hopes to develop a new home care system for dementia patients in order to reach all patients and especially the underprivileged. She hopes to do this within the public health system in her home country, Israel.
Motivation
Inbal believes we need to find creative solutions for care at home for dementia patients and their caregivers.
