Social Impact
Built for people, not for profit
Şifa.Net is developed to create social benefit for people living with dementia and those who care for them. Here are the values behind that purpose.
Why it matters
According to the World Health Organization, more than 55 million people live with dementia worldwide, with nearly 10 million new cases each year. The unseen heroes of this picture are the caregivers: spouses, children, grandchildren and professional carers. Many of them must cope with burnout, a lack of information and isolation.
Şifa.Net exists to put technology at the service of this invisible labor. Our goal is to make a caregiver's day a little easier and a little less lonely.
Our commitments
Our promises for social good
Awareness
By making the forget-me-not our symbol, we grow Alzheimer's and dementia awareness and spread reliable information.
Accessibility
With large fonts, high contrast and screen-reader support, we reach users of every age and ability.
Volunteer experts
Our community forum is moderated by volunteer psychologists and nurses, offering a safe and trustworthy space.
Data privacy
Health data is encrypted; we fully comply with KVKK/GDPR and privacy principles. Your data is never sold for commercial gain.
Access to resources
We bring Alzheimer's centers, day-care homes and support organizations together on a single map.
Practical, warm language
All our content is written in plain language with a supportive, non-judgmental tone.
Who we reach
A dementia diagnosis touches not one person but an entire circle. Şifa.Net considers every member of that circle:
- Early-stage patients — to protect their independence and memories
- Family caregivers — to share the daily load
- Professional carers — to keep care organized and traceable
- Distant family members — to stay connected to loved ones
- Health professionals — to follow the course of the illness
We are stronger together
Associations working in dementia, health institutions, volunteer experts and families who know this road — every one of your contributions makes Şifa.Net better. We take inspiration from the awareness and support work of organizations like the Alzheimer's Association, and we care about being part of this ecosystem.
