Understanding and guiding technology use in dementia: a pan-European mapping and consensus study
Key findings emphasise involving people with dementia in technology design, ensuring equitable access, and providing adequate training and support. The recommendations offer a practical, consensus-based framework to improve the efficacy of AT adoption, with implications extending beyond pandemic contexts to improve dementia care globally.
