ONDRI’s collaborative approach to studying dementia
ONDRI (Ontario Neurodegenerative Disease Research Initiative) is a highly collaborative research initiative. It tackles the complexity of dementia by studying multiple neurodegenerative diseases at once.
Leveraging disease expertise
ONDRI’s studies leverage the specialized expertise of dozens of scientists & clinicians to assess people living with diseases that can lead to dementia.
Making discoveries with 'big data'
ONDRI has strict standards for data formatting & detailed quality control protocols. These factors make cross-analysis with other studies and health databases possible.
Innovating research using remote monitoring
ONDRI utilizes wearables and other remote technologies to research and monitor people living with the diseases studied, in their home and community environments.
Foundational Study controlled data release
The Ontario Brain Institute in partnership with ONDRI has released the baseline data from ONDRI’s Foundational Study.
Benefit from the extensive work that has gone into collecting, cleaning and curating these data.

ONDRI is supported by the Ontario Brain Institute (OBI)
OBI is a not-for-profit organization that accelerates discovery and innovation, benefiting both patients and the economy. Our collaborative ‘team science’ approach promotes brain research, commercialization and care by connecting researchers, clinicians, industry, patients, and their advocates to improve the lives of those living with brain disorders.
