A pilot study investigating the effectiveness, appreciation, and feasibility of a cognitive stimulation program in dementia patients: online versus face-to-face
These findings suggest that remote cognitive stimulation interventions are a viable and beneficial alternative to in-person therapy. The high levels of satisfaction and stable cognitive outcomes are in line with previous studies. Future research with a larger sample size and long-term follow-up is needed to further assess the lasting impact on cognitive function, quality of life, and caregiver burden. The integration of remote protocols into healthcare systems could enhance access to therapy for a broader patient population.
