Analysing a broad range of digital health innovations and research studies that demonstrate working collaboratively with people with dementia and their caregivers, this timely volume offers new insights, latest evidence, and research-based solutions for managing the role of technology in dementia care and support. The book comprehensively examines four key research areas: the role of technology in addressing the diversity of needs in dementia care and support, the effectiveness of social media websites in meeting care and support needs, the assessment of smartphone apps and websites in helping increase independence and social interactions, and the use of social robots at home and in institutional care settings. Chapters highlight the rigorous development, evaluation, and implementation of technologies such as apps and co-created websites by combining experience and research from leaders in the field, early-career researchers, and their collaborators with applied knowledge in the field. Benefitting significantly from research funded through the European Marie-Curie training network, DISTINCT (Dementia: Intersectoral Strategies for Training and Innovation Network for Current Technology), contributions are truly international, spanning across Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, the UK, and Spain. Serving as a vital resource and inspiration for future research and clinical practice, this volume will be of interest to scholars, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of gerontology and ageing, dementia, and medical technology and engineering. Policy makers may also find this volume of use.
