“…This study used zooming effect and annotation for a self‐made electronic album and relevant generic video of 5 themes to enrich activity content. Thus, participants felt calm and happy because of various familiar scenes that guided them during language reminiscence, resulting in easier expression and release of emotions in the activity, agreeing with the findings of Hamada et al Meanwhile, when watching electronic album and relevant generic videos, the elderly people continually communicated their views or asked us about what was shown on the screen. Finally, the elderly people discussed their interests and asked us to add more content or extend screening, making the whole activity more active and easy and promoting interaction among elderly people with MCI and with researchers.…”

“…Using MIT aimed at providing health care to patients using mobile devices (eg, telephones, computers, and televisions) to meet needs and to capture interest of patients. Based on MIT support for various reminiscence media, such type of technology can be summarized as sets of text, sound, graphics, and multimedia album, daily assistance by videophone, music game, computer interactive reminiscence and conversation aid system, and other types. These studies showed that when combined with reminiscence therapy, MIT encourages positive interactions between dementia patients and their caregivers and elicits verbal reminiscence in patients, catches their attention and improves psychological stability, guides and navigates patients for independent living, and enriches reminiscence material by constructing a database that includes clips video, photos, music, or other materials …”

“…In some papers, using technologies is considered to promote PwD independent living, as it reassures both PwD and informal caregivers. s-Health technologies were able to provide entertainment and engage PwD [34,35], making it easier for PwD to stay out of hospice care while increasing informal caregivers’ peace of mind [36-38].…”

Background Smart Health technologies (s-Health technologies) are being developed to support people with dementia (PwD) and their informal caregivers at home, to improve care and reduce the levels of burden and stress they experience. However, although s-Health technologies have the potential to facilitate this, the factors influencing a successful implementation in this population are still unknown. Objective The aim of this study was to review existing literature to explore the factors influencing PwD and their informal caregivers’ adoption of s-Health technologies for home care. Methods Following the Arksey and O’Malley methodology, this study is a scoping review providing a narrative description of the scientific literature on factors influencing s-Health technology adoption for PwD and their informal caregivers. A search was conducted using PubMed, the Cochrane library, the IEEE library, and Scopus. Publications screening was conducted by 2 researchers based on inclusion criteria, and full-text analysis was then conducted by 1 researcher. The included articles were thematically analyzed by 2 researchers to gain an insight into factors influencing adoption that PwD and their informal caregivers have to encounter when using s-Health technologies. Relevant information was identified and coded. Codes were later discussed between the researchers for developing and modifying them and for achieving a consensus, and the researchers organized the codes into broader themes. Results Emerging themes were built in a way that said something specific and meaningful about the research question, creating a list of factors influencing the adoption of s-Health technologies for PwD and their informal caregivers, including attitudinal aspects, ethical issues, technology-related challenges, condition-related challenges, and identified gaps. A design framework was created as a guide for future research and innovation in the area of s-Health technologies for PwD and their informal caregivers: DemDesCon for s-Health Technologies . DemDesCon for s-Health Technologies addresses 4 domains to consider for the design and development of s-Health technologies for this population: cognitive decline domain, physical decline domain, social domain, and development domain. Conclusions Although s-Health technologies have been used in health care scenarios, more work is needed for them to fully achieve their potential for use in dementia care. Researchers, businesses, and public governments need to collaborate to design and implement effective technology solutions for PwD and their informal caregivers, but the lack of clear design guidelines seems to be slowing the process. We believe that the DemDesCon framework will provide them with the guidance and assistance needed for creating meaningful devices for PwD home care and informal caregivers, filling a much-needed space in the present know...

“…Eight papers, corresponding to five distinct projects, described systems that utilize ICT for RT but did not report any evaluation with the target population. These papers have been classified as “system architectures.” The projects used diverse types of technology: to deliver RT remotely (Hamada, Kuwahara, Morimoto, & Yasuda, 2009; Hattori, Kuwabara, Kuwahara, Abe, & Yasuda, 2007; Kuwahara, Yasuda, Abe, & Kuwabara, 2006), to capture and display daily activities (Kikhia, Bengtsson, Synnes, & Sani, 2010; Kikhia, Hallberg, Bengtsson, Sävenstedt, & Synnes, 2010), to play multimedia (Caprani, Dwyer, Harrison, & Brien, 2005), to monitor brainwaves of an individual during RT (Gary, 2012), and to present conversation facilitator prompts through the use of natural language processing (Green, Guinn, & Smith, 2012). These papers are not described in Table 1 as they do not report evaluation with the target population.…”

A Systematic Review of the Use of Technology for Reminiscence Therapy

2014

As the segment of the population 65 years of age or older continues to grow, the number of individuals with dementia increases proportionally, highlighting the need to design therapies that meet the social and emotional needs of people with dementia. Information and communication technologies (ICT) are potential venues for supporting the delivery of such therapies, including reminiscence therapy (RT), which is a non-pharmacological intervention involving the prompting of past memories, often with artifacts such as old photographs or music for therapeutic benefits such as the facilitation of social interactions or the increase of self-esteem. This paper systematically examines the scientific literature on the use of ICT for facilitating RT to assess the current state of the evidence and identify future trends. We searched the PubMed (1966–2013), ACM (1954–2013), and PsycINFO (1908–2013) repositories using the keywords dementia and reminiscence. Three hundred eighty-six articles were retrieved, 44 of which met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Findings of the systematic review include that there are benefits to using ICT for RT interventions. Some of these benefits are access to rich and engaging multimedia reminiscence materials, opportunities for people with dementia to participate in social interactions and take ownership of conversations, and a reduction of barriers due to motor deficits during interactions with media. Future studies should explore the types and content of media beneficial to individuals at different stages of dementia.
