Mobile technologies to promote independence and well-being of older adults with dementia through the lens of personhood and human needs: a scoping review (Preprint)

Background With the world’s rapidly growing older adult population, there is an increase in the number of people living with dementia. This growth leads to a strain on their caregivers and our health care system and to an increased attention on mitigating strain by using mobile technology to sustain the independence of people with dementia. However, less attention is given to whether these technologies meet the stated and unstated needs of people with dementia.
