Abstract
The application of technologies in healthcare offers substantial benefits for stakeholders. Due to the recent advances in emerging technologies, these benefits are further improved for individuals experiencing chronic conditions, especially people living with dementia. Healthcare professionals, especially caregivers, could be assisted by such technologies in the monitoring and recording of health conditions of patients. However, the trend and type of technologies applied in dementia care and a comprehensive analysis of such technologies in dementia care are limited. Therefore, this study uses the PRISMA approach to examine previous studies, identify gaps, and outline research directions. In addition, the NASSS (non-adoption, abandonment, scale-up, spread and sustainability) framework was used as a tool for analysing healthcare technologies in dementia care. From the analysis, we identified five themes to support future research in dementia care. The key challenges associated with technologies in dementia care are ensuring interoperability, understanding economic and ethical implications, and aligning with patient and caregiver needs. In future studies, expanding the literature review could provide valuable insights into the significance of all the seven domains of the NASSS framework.
