Abstract

Over the years there has been an increase in the development of assistive technologies (AT’s). The implementation and scaling of AT’s at care organizations remains challenging. Moreover, to date, it has been underexplored during which stages of dementia these technologies can be best implemented. Previous work has developed an infographic providing guidance on when best to introduce AT’s for people with dementia. Although this infographic is relevant, it was based solely on the experience of the authors during various national and international projects. However, over the years a wide spread of studies has been conducted in the field of dementia on the use and implementation of technology for PwD. Therefore, in this paper we will revise the current infographic based on the insight gained from existing literature and complement these by interviews with expert on the implementation of care technology
