“…Three papers reported on a variety of creative activities either through online video demonstrations ( Golden et al, 2017 ), access to various multimedia apps ( Gilson et al, 2019 ), or the choice of playing back different media ( Lancioni et al, 2017 ). Single papers examined an application offering dance guidance ( Azman et al, 2017 ), and interactive lighting and sound installation ( Gu et al, 2013 ).…”

“…Second, 16 of the studies relayed findings related to improvements in their participants’ BPSD. Thirteen of which used behavioural measures, 5 number of negative behaviours observed, social validation check, task-related error rate over time, number of actions or utterances made when engaging with device; ( Benveniste et al, 2012 ; Boulay et al, 2011 ; Cheng et al, 2019 ; Cheng & Lee, 2018 ; Cruz-Sandoval et al, 2018 ; Cunningham et al, 2019 ; Kwak et al, 2020 ; Lancioni et al, 2014 , 2015 , 2017 ; Manca et al, 2021 ; Murphy et al, 2018 ; Tyack et al, 2017 ) to indicate these changes in BPSD, two used cognitive measures 6 ( Azman et al, 2017 ; Han et al, 2020 ), while one other used a combination of cognitive and behavioural measures 7 ( Iacono & Marti, 2016 ). Almost all studies presenting behavioural evidence quantitatively described improvements as occurring along their behavioural measures, with reporting mixed on the types of statistics used, and whether corrections for multiple comparisons were employed.…”

Third, eight studies recorded findings on the changes to the QoL of their participants due to the intervention 8 ( Benveniste et al, 2012 ; Chauhan, 2020 ; Cunningham et al, 2019 ; De Kok et al, 2018 ; Gilson et al, 2019 ; Lancioni et al, 2017 ; Stenhouse et al, 2013 ; Tyack et al, 2017 ). QoL was mainly measured quantitatively through the use of questionnaires, but wellbeing was a major theme that came up in a couple of qualitative analyses.…”

The use of technology for arts-based activities in older adults living with mild cognitive impairment or dementia: A scoping review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

For older adults living with mild cognitive impairment or dementia, creative arts-based activities can offer many benefits from enjoyment as leisure/recreation to an avenue to maintain cognitive, social and emotional wellbeing. With growing interest and recognition that technology could have potential to assist in delivering these activities in more accessible and personalised ways, a scoping review was undertaken to systematically examine the scientific literature for technology-assisted creative arts activities for older adults living with dementia. We searched PubMed, PsychINFO, Web of Science, Scopus and ACM Digital Library databases using keywords centering on population with dementia, an intervention using technology, and a context of creative arts, with no restrictions on the type of outcome measured. We retrieved 3739 records, with an additional 22 from hand-searching. 51 full-text articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Findings of the review indicate technologies principally being designed for music activities (listening, and music-making), as well as storytelling and visual arts. The majority of devices were custom-made, with studies mainly reporting on validating the success of the device/intervention. This suggests most work in the field is currently at prototyping stage, although a few devices are now commercially available. Recommendations for future research includes involvement of participants reporting on their previous experiences in the arts and how this influences co-design choices, and inclusion of different severities of dementia in the participant/co-design group. Furthering device development past prototyping stage as well as collaboration between teams would enable comparisons to be made across different types of devices used for the same activity, and comparisons across arts-based activities that could lead to cross-disciplinary outcomes for the design of creative arts-based assistive technologies.

“…The eight studies summarized in this section represent illustrative examples of interventions with support tools relevant for this area (see Table 3). Specifically, the first two studies addressed the leisure problem (75, 76); the following two studies addressed the communication problem (1, 77); and the final four studies targeted both problems within the same intervention context (32, 72, 78, 79).…”

“…Lancioni et al (75) set up and assessed a support tool, which technically resembled that used by Stasolla and De Pace (76), to enable 11 participants with mild or moderate Alzheimer's disease to engage in leisure activities independently. The participants did not have the ability to operate a computer or other device for leisure engagement.…”

Recent Technology-Aided Programs to Support Adaptive Responses, Functional Activities, and Leisure and Communication in People With Significant Disabilities

This paper presents an overview of recent technology-aided programs (i. e., technology-aided support tools) designed to help people with significant disabilities (a) engage in adaptive responses, functional activities, and leisure and communication, and thus (b) interact with their physical and social environment and improve their performance/achievement. In order to illustrate the support tools, the paper provides an overview of recent studies aimed at developing and assessing those tools. The paper also examines the tools' accessibility and usability, and comments on possible ways of modifying and advancing them to improve their impact. The tools taken into consideration concern, among others, (a) microswitches linked to computer systems, and aimed at promoting (i.e., through positive stimulation) minimal responses or functional body movements in individuals with intellectual disabilities and motor impairments; (b) computer systems, tablets, or smartphones aimed at supporting functional activity engagement of individuals with intellectual disabilities or Alzheimer's disease; and (c) microswitches with computer-aided systems, elaborate communication devices, and specifically arranged smartphones or tablets, directed at promoting leisure, communication, or both.
