Police set up dementia detection system for senior drivers

Mitsuhiko Yamamoto, an inspector of the Oita prefectural police in southwestern Japan, shows on Feb. 10, 2015, a letter of commendation given by the National Policy Agency chief for creating a system to help local doctors detect dementia among senior drivers at an early stage.
