“…These studies all came from single originations: Netherlands, Greece, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Canada, Netherlands/Germany/Belgium. The theme development must improve capabilities (false alarms, would only be worn for a few hours due to weight, technical problems, difficult to understand) occurred in 7/75 occurrences (9%) [ 25 , 26 , 29 , 42 , 43 , 48 , 53 ]. The theme degenerative nature of dementia complicates the timing of AT used (timing is important – before it is too late, dementia’s progressive nature makes useless today AT that may have been helpful only a short while ago, client’s reduced cognitive and physical abilities greatly reduces the effectiveness of AT more each day) occurred in 7/75 occurrences (9%) [ 24 , 25 , 36 , 40 , 42 , 45 , 52 ].…”

“…One study noted no effect in depression, while others noted improved depression [ 33 , 41 ], behavior [ 24 , 33 , 56 ], mood [ 33 , 34 , 41 , 64 ], coping [ 3 , 33 , 62 ], and decreased stress [ 25 , 48 ]. Also, caregivers want AT [ 36 , 38 , 39 , 43 , 44 , 47 , 53 , 63 ], while PWD do not want AT [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 47 , 55 , 62 ]. Caregivers feel a sense of relief knowing sensors are in place, and they feel these sensors are more ethical than using physical barriers to prevent elopement, but the complex and foreign nature of the sensors coupled with false alarms cause PWD to reject the same devices that increase their sense of autonomy [ 23 , 25 , 26 , 30 , 59 ].…”

“…In the interest of brevity, only the top 40% most frequently observed will be reported (other than those not reported). The theme caregivers want AT (AT more ethical than physical barriers, users are open-minded to robotic assistance and sensors, usefulness is high, AT enables PWD to live at home more safely) occurred in 8/68 occurrences (12%) [36,38,39,43,44,47,53,63]. These studies all came from single originations: Australia, Scotland, Canada, United Kingdom, United Kingdom/Italy/Malaysia, Spain, Netherlands, Germany/Belgium, and Taiwan.…”

Background: Assistive technologies (AT) have been used to improve the daily living conditions of people living with dementia (PWD). Research supports the positive impact of the use of AT such as decreased burden on caregivers and behavioral support for people with dementia. Four reviews in the last six years have analyzed AT and PWD, but none have incorporated the dimension of medical outcomes. Objectives: The purpose of this review is to identify the facilitators, barriers, and medical outcomes commensurate with the use of AT with PWD. Method: This review queried The Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Web of Science, Science Direct, and PubMed databases for peer-reviewed publications in the last five years for facilitators, barriers, and medical outcomes commensurate with the use of AT with PWD. The study is reported and conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) and the Kruse Protocol for conducting a systematic review. Results: 48 studies were analyzed. Fourteen types of AT, 17 facilitators, 17 barriers, and 16 medical outcomes were identified in the literature. The two most frequently mentioned ATs were cognitive stimulators (9/48, 19%) and social robots (5/48, 10%). The two most frequently mentioned facilitators were caregivers want AT (8/68, 12%) and enables increased independence (7/68, 10%). The top two barriers were cost (8/75, 11%) and PWD reject AT (8/75, 11%). The top medical outcomes were improved cognitive abilities (6/69, 9%), increased activities of daily living (ADLs), and increased autonomy (each at 5/69, 7%): Zero negative outcomes were reported. Conclusion: The systematic review revealed the positive relations that occur when PWD and their caregivers use AT. Although many reservations surrounding the use of AT exist, a majority of the literature shows a positive effect of its use. Research supports a strong support for AT by caregivers due to many positive medical outcomes, but also a reticence to adopt by PWD. If ATs for PWD are a way to reduce stress on caregivers, barriers of cost and complexity need to be addressed through health policy or grants.

Technological developments provide solutions to alleviate the tremendous impact on the health and autonomy due to the impact of dementia on navigation abilities. We systematically reviewed the literature on devices tested to provide assistance to people with dementia during indoor, outdoor and virtual navigation (PROSPERO ID number: 215585). Medline and Scopus databases were searched from inception. Our aim was to summarize the results from the literature to guide future developments. Twenty-three articles were included in our study. Three types of information were extracted from these studies. First, the types of navigation advice the devices provided were assessed through: (i) the sensorial modality of presentation, e.g., visual and tactile stimuli, (ii) the navigation content, e.g., landmarks, and (iii) the timing of presentation, e.g., systematically at intersections. Second, we analyzed the technology that the devices were based on, e.g., smartphone. Third, the experimental methodology used to assess the devices and the navigation outcome was evaluated. We report and discuss the results from the literature based on these three main characteristics. Finally, based on these considerations, recommendations are drawn, challenges are identified and potential solutions are suggested. Augmented reality-based devices, intelligent tutoring systems and social support should particularly further be explored.
