Medichec

The AEC online tool was based on research published in 2016 (ref 1).

Medichec was developed by Delia Bishara, Justin Sauer and Robert Stewart in collaboration with Mindwave Ventures and with the support of the Mental Health of Older Adults and Dementia Clinical Academic Group at the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. The development of this resource was part-funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Biomedical Research Centre and Dementia Biomedical Research Unit at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and King’s College London.

Use of the AEC tool is free for individuals. Organisations wishing to use the tool in their electronic records must make contact for permission.
