Page 2 of 49 Purpose: A systematic review was performed evaluating the effectiveness of Information and Communication Technology-based Assistive Technology (ICTbased-AT) to compensate for impaired cognition in everyday life activities. Materials and methods: The study was registered in PROSPERO, registration number CRD42018114913. Six databases were searched (years 2008-2019), Inclusion criteria: randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or cohort studies; people with impaired cognition due to non-degenerative diseases; and evaluation of ICT-based-ATs' effectiveness regarding activity and participation, including prospective memory, execution of tasks, and satisfaction with task execution. Each study's level of evidence and quality were assessed using "JBI Levels of Evidence" and the "JBI Meta-Analysis of Statistics Assessment and Review Instrument", respectively.Results: 3,153 publications were located, of which 12 were included. The levels of evidence were; 1.c (RCT) (n=7), 1.d (pseudo-RCT) (n=1), and 3.e (observational study without control group) (n=4). Three studies had high quality (2 RCT/1 cohort), eight acceptable (5 RCT/3 cohort) and one low (RCT) quality.Conclusions: Smartphones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), etc with e.g. calendars and reminder alarms can improve prospective memory, especially for people with ABI. Furthermore, PDAs and similar products with prompts can improve execution of
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
