abstract = {We aimed to identify assistive technologies that are
promising for addressing loneliness in people living with
dementia in long-term care.A scoping review was conducted.
EBSCO, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and ProQuest were searched
from 2000 to 2020. The included studies were selected by
three independent researchers and summarised, compared, and
categorized according to technology type. Publications were
eligible for inclusion when they reported on psychosocial
interventions aiming to reduce loneliness and/or social
isolation in people with dementia in long-term care
settings.Twenty-four papers were included (20 original
research papers and four reviews). Most studies were
conducted in Australia and Europe. The studies aimed to
investigate two different types of assistive technology:
social robots, and multimedia computer systems. Most studies
focussed on behaviour, engagement, and mood as primary
outcomes. Only one study directly aimed to alleviate
loneliness.Even though only one study addressed loneliness
directly, it became clear that assistive technologies used
to apply psychosocial interventions have the potential to
impact loneliness in people with dementia in long-term care.
However, it remains unclear why loneliness was not included
as an outcome and how loneliness could become a key outcome
in evaluating assistive technologies.IMPLICATIONS FOR
REHABILITATIONLoneliness among older adults is associated
with health risks, such as the development of dementia,
depression, and increased mortality.Ambient Assisted Living
(AAL) technologies have been studied to address loneliness
for older adults; however people with dementia are often
excluded from such studies.This diverse group of
technologies is shown to have a promising impact on
outcomes, such as social engagement, quality of life, and
mood, but loneliness was studied less often.More research is
needed to discover the potential of assistive technologies
for people with dementia living in long-term care.},
