It's estimated that by 2015 there will be 2.5 million Japanese with senile dementia and as Japan becomes an increasingly urban population, its cities are struggling to cope.

"If most people work until 75 and pay tax, we can support them and it makes people healthier", argues Professor Akiyama, who runs the scheme.
