ABSTRACT
Although technology has the potential to promote aging in place among community-living older adults with dementia, the use remains scarce. In this literature study we provide an overview of perspectives (i.e., needs, wishes, attitudes, possibilities, and difficulties) of different stakeholders on technology use in the care for community-living older adults with dementia. After selection, 46 studies were included. We mainly found perspectives of informal caregivers and, to a lesser extent, of persons with dementia and formal caregivers. Shared perspectives were, among other things, ease of use, stability and ï¬exibility of technology, importance of privacy, and conï¬dentiality. Among older adults, fun and pleasure, in addition to enhancing freedom and independence, facilitates technology use. Informal caregivers' peace of mind and relief of burden also appeared to be important in using technologies. Formal caregivers value the potential of technologies to improve monitoring and communication. Insight in perspectives of stakeholders are essential to enhance the use of technology in the care for community-living older adults with dementia.
