“…Musical memory is relatively spared in dementia [39] and multiple technology projects have leveraged this including the one-button radio [40], simple music-making interface [41] and collaborative music making [42]. Enjoying art has also led to programmes such as House of Memories 1 , an interactive art installation for care homes [43], making art as an enjoyable pastime [44] and a more focused art therapy programme [45, 46].…”

Background: Technology has multiple potential applications to dementia from diagnosis and assessment to care delivery and supporting ageing in place. Objectives: To summarise key areas of technology development in dementia and identify future directions and implications. Method: Members of the US Alzheimer’s Association Technology Professional Interest Area involved in delivering the annual pre-conference summarised existing knowledge on current and future technology developments in dementia. Results: The main domains of technology development are as follows: (i) diagnosis, assessment and monitoring, (ii) maintenance of functioning, (iii) leisure and activity, (iv) caregiving and management. Conclusions: The pace of technology development requires urgent policy, funding and practice change, away from a narrow medical approach, to a holistic model that facilitates future risk reduction and prevention strategies, enables earlier detection and supports implementation at scale for a meaningful and fulfilling life with dementia.

“…Alongside listening to music, people with dementia can also participate actively in music sessions by playing instruments, by singing, or by moving to music [ 6 ]. Therefore, music sessions can stimulate physical activity [ 15 , 16 ] and can provide opportunities for social interaction with professional caregivers and other residents in a care home [ 7 , 17 , 18 ].…”

“…Building on this extensive body of work on music in dementia [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ], researchers have begun exploring the potential benefits of everyday sounds or nonmusical sounds perceived in everyday life for people with dementia [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. Like music, everyday sounds that are perceived as pleasant can evoke positive emotions [ 24 , 26 ].…”

“…Moreover, researchers have been exploring the role of sound in daytime activities to stimulate social engagement and creativity [ 32 ], such as art therapy [ 33 ] and music sessions [ 6 ]. These research explorations have resulted in new accessible interfaces for people with dementia to enable them to play personal music content [ 34 , 35 , 36 ] and virtual instruments adapted to the skills and abilities of residents with dementia to support participation during music therapy sessions [ 7 , 17 , 37 , 38 ]. ABT, such as music pillows [ 22 , 29 ] and collaborative interfaces [ 17 , 21 , 39 ], support social activities and stimulate engagement between people with dementia, their relatives, and professional caregivers [ 21 , 22 ].…”

Music and familiar everyday sounds can be meaningful for people with dementia by providing benefits such as evoking memories and emotions or prompting social interactions with caregivers or relatives. Motivated by this potential, researchers and designers are investigating how to leverage these beneficial effects of sound in care environments through audio-based technology. However, there is a gap in the knowledge of how audio-based technology can be successfully implemented within everyday care practice. In this paper, we present the outcome of three participatory workshops with 18 professional caregivers to explore how audio-based technology can add value to existing care processes and activities in residential dementia care. During the participatory workshops, professional caregivers (1) mapped existing care activities; (2) linked findings in research with practice, and (3) designed scenarios for the Vita sound cushion. Care professionals indicate how audio-based technology can support existing care practice by influencing the mood of residents and by supporting social interaction during moments of care, daytime activities, or situational sessions. This study bridges research findings with insights from practice, contributing to a shared understanding of opportunities for embedding audio-based technology in dementia care. These opportunities motivate future research to implement and evaluate audio-based technology in residential dementia care.

“…Currently, this research is shifting the focus from remediating deficits in cognitive and physical abilities, to addressing individuals' potential and experience of dementia [34,42,47]. In this context, there exists a large body of work exploring the role of music in providing meaningful activities, that enrich social and daily life in care facilities [5,6,23,26,48,52]. Music has been proven to be beneficial for people with dementia as it can relieve stress and boredom [52], stimulate reminiscence [5], encourage physical movement [45], facilitate social interactions [23] and act as a stimulus for exploring and maintaining identity [7].…”
