“…Location monitoring is perhaps one of the most controversial areas of dementia care and is often used to counteract some symptoms of dementia, such as wandering. These solutions generally use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology so that caregivers can monitor the geographic location of the person with dementia 38. Liu and colleagues discovered a high acceptance rate of GPS-based devices among caregivers, with peace of mind and greater independence being the significant benefits.…”

ObjectivesRapid technology-driven innovation in the healthcare sector has led to an increasing ability to effectively respond to health challenges. However, the cognitive challenges faced by a person with dementia exacerbate the difficulty of designing enduring technological dementia care solutions. Despite this, and in the absence of a cure, facilitating well-being and improved quality of life becomes pivotal for those living with dementia and their caregivers. This review aimed to identify and consolidate the provision of technological solutions for dementia care, and how these are perceived to impact the quality of life of a person with dementia.MethodsArticles and journals were identified using keywords including those relating to quality of life, assistive technologies and technology adoption and acceptance. Greater priority was given to resources published after 2010 due to the speed of technological advancement, and peer-reviewed articles were preferred.Results91 resources were identified, with 38 contributing to the final review. In addition to multiple quality of life measurement tools, the literature identified a large variety of solutions that fell into three categories: those used ‘by’, ‘with’ or ‘on’ a person with dementia.ConclusionsThis review concludes that the ‘one size fits all’ approach to many solutions reflects the lack of supporting evidence, negatively impacting trust in their usefulness among caregivers and their subsequent adoption rates. This could be attributed to limited involvement of people with dementia in studies of effectiveness and adoption. Additional research is recommended to further consolidate research on quality of life and to understand the individuality and progression of dementia and its influence on dementia care solutions.

“…(16) Regarding the localization systems, it is verified that the use of GPS increases the ability of the elderly to move independently, promoting a reduction of the dyad's stress. (27) Despite the caregivers' preparation to manage the technologies, many indicate difficulty to implement them on a daily basis, mainly due to the flaws they present, which reinforces the need for system improvements. (28) Regarding the use of robotic navigation aids, the findings support the assertion that they effectively support the orientation and movement of demented people and are able to reduce the task performance time.…”

Resumo Objetivo Analisar estudos de intervenções com tecnologias assistivas, empregadas no auxílio de idosos com demência, na execução das Atividades Básicas e Instrumentais de Vida Diária. Métodos Realizou-se levantamento, através das bases de dados CINAHL, MEDLINE/PubMed, LILACS, SCOPUS, Scielo, Cochrane e Web of Science . Utilizaram-se os descritores dementia/ demência , aged/ idoso , self-help devices/ equipamentos de autoajuda . Os artigos selecionados foram submetidos à análise de qualidade metodológica, na qual foi utilizada a escala de avaliação da Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro). Resultados Quatro ensaios clínicos foram elencados para a revisão. Os estudos apresentaram classificação de baixa a moderada qualidade metodológica. As tecnologias de sistema de monitoramento noturno e as de comando de voz apresentaram melhor avaliação em relação aos efeitos nas Atividades Básicas e Instrumentais de Vida Diária. Conclusão A aplicação desse aparato tecnológico fornece resultados positivos no apoio a idosos e cuidadores na execução das atividades diárias. As utilizações de comandos verbais simples possuem menor custo, manuseio simples e maior eficiência para execução de Atividades Instrumentais de Vida Diária de idosos com demência.
