The Identification of Assistive Technologies Being Used to Support the Daily Occupations of Community-dwelling Older Adults with Dementia: A Cross-sectional Pilot Study

Purpose
Assistive technologies (ATs) have tremendous potential to support occupations (i.e. meaningful daily activities) impacted by changes in cognition caused by dementia. However, little is known about what or how ATs are in use in community settings. This research created and piloted guided interviews intended to capture what ATs are in use, factors that affect use and gaps in support from multiple stakeholders.
