“…The questionnaires asked about the utility, usability, usefulness, functionality, learnability, satisfaction, ease of use, effectiveness, efficiency, and acceptability of the app and participants' experience, opinions, perceived interest, motivation to use the app, and suggestions for improvement of the app. In total, 32% (9/28) of the studies used modified questionnaires [47,48,53,56,60,66,75,83,84]. A total of 21% (6/28) of the studies used standard questionnaires [57,64,67,68,75,86], and the SUS was used most often [57,64,68,75,86].…”

Background Studies have shown that mobile apps have the potential to serve as nonpharmacological interventions for dementia care, improving the quality of life of people living with dementia and their informal caregivers. However, little is known about the needs for and privacy aspects of these mobile apps in dementia care. Objective This review seeks to understand the landscape of existing mobile apps in dementia care for people living with dementia and their caregivers with respect to app features, usability testing, privacy, and security. Methods ACM Digital Library, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Compendex, Embase, Inspec, Ovid MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Scopus were searched. Studies were included if they included people with dementia living in the community, their informal caregivers, or both; focused on apps in dementia care using smartphones or tablet computers; and covered usability evaluation of the app. Records were independently screened, and 2 reviewers extracted the data. The Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine critical appraisal tool and Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool were used to assess the risk of bias in the included studies. Thematic synthesis was used, and the findings were summarized and tabulated based on each research aim. Results Overall, 44 studies were included in this review, with 39 (89%) published after 2015. In total, 50 apps were included in the study, with more apps developed for people living with dementia as end users compared with caregivers. Most studies (27/44, 61%) used tablet computers. The most common app feature was cognitive stimulation. This review presented 9 app usability themes: user interface, physical considerations, screen size, interaction challenges, meeting user needs, lack of self-awareness of app needs, stigma, technological inexperience, and technical support. In total, 5 methods (questionnaires, interviews, observations, logging, and focus groups) were used to evaluate usability. There was little focus on the privacy and security aspects, including data transfer and protection, of mobile apps for people living with dementia. Conclusions The limitations of this review include 1 reviewer conducting the full-text screening, its restriction to studies published in English, and the exclusion of apps that lacked empirical usability testing. As a result, there may be an incomplete representation of the available apps in the field of dementia care. However, this review highlights significant concerns related to the usability, privacy, and security of existing mobile apps for people living with dementia and their caregivers. The findings of this review provide a valuable framework to guide app developers and researchers in the areas of privacy policy development, app development strategies, and the importance of conducting thorough usability testing for their apps. By considering these factors, future work in this field can be advanced to enhance the quality and effectiveness of dementia care apps.

“…According to this perspective, the applications are intended to prevent Dementia by training in cognitive processes such as speed, memory, attention, problem-solving, and others. Furthermore, numerous studies in the literature focus on having a mobile application to reduce cognitive impairment among patients [8]. This technological solution aims to improve a person's Dementia status by providing improved treatment support.…”

A digital storytelling tool is one of the interactive technologies that can help youngsters better comprehend Dementia. Dementia makes it difficult for older people to maintain their daily routines. They have difficulties in effectively communicating with those around them. Similarly, children whose grandparents have Dementia will struggle to understand their grandparents' situation. It will also negatively influence children's relationships with their grandparents. Learning through interactive digital storytelling will affect younger people's entertainment experiences, which may help them better comprehend Dementia. As a result, the children's relationships with their grandparents may be strengthened. This study aims to present the framework of digital storytelling in helping young children understand more about Dementia. The framework was developed in a step-by-step procedure that included analyzing and synthesizing current applications and relevant research, constructing the framework, and having it confirmed by experts. Researchers and developers may use the framework as a guideline to build meaningful digital storytelling features.
