One of the most unkind things we can do to people who have #dementia is to keep them waiting. Dementia takes away the ability to perceive the passage of time—a minute or an hour can both feel eternal. Try to be punctual.

Identifying Facilitators and Obstacles in Piloting Dementia Initiatives Within a Living Lab Approach: Systematic Review Background: Dementia affects more than 55 million people worldwide, and its progressive cognitive decline creates substantial challenges for intervention testing and real-world implementation. Living Labs (LLs) have become increasingly relevant for piloting interventions in dementia care, offering real-world environments for cocreation and iterative testing. However, operational, ethical, and governance challenges can hinder the effective implementation of dementia-focused initiatives. Objective: This study aimed to identify and synthesize the facilitators and challenges encountered when piloting dementia-related initiatives within an LL approach. Methods: A systematic review was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and EBSCOhost from database inception to January 31, 2024. Studies were eligible if they reported the piloting, implementation, or evaluation of dementia-related initiatives in an LL context. A narrative synthesis was performed using content analysis for initial coding and thematic analysis for theme development. The systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Results: The 15 included studies were mostly conducted in European countries. Two major themes emerged, namely (1) organizational and operational issues and (2) ethical and legal considerations. Within these, 4 key operational subthemes were identified: engaging people living with dementia (end users), research design and evaluation methods, co-design and testing phases, and LL governance. Ethical and legal considerations covered informed consent procedures and regulatory aspects. Across studies, the most frequently reported facilitators involved familiar environments, stakeholder collaboration, iterative evaluation, and flexible co-design processes. Barriers commonly included fluctuating cognitive symptoms, limited digital literacy, inconsistent stakeholder engagement, time and resource constraints, and fragmented regulatory guidance. Conclusions: Piloting dementia initiatives in LLs requires methodological adaptability, strong governance structures, and ethical procedures tailored to cognitive impairment. These findings provide actionable guidance for researchers, practitioners, industry partners, and policymakers seeking to develop sustainable, user-centered LLs that support innovation in dementia care.

How much independence should you give a loved one with dementia?

A helpful guide is to notice when frustration, embarrassment, or stress starts to show. That’s often the moment to step in with compassionate assistance.

Factors Associated With the Use of Digital Health and Well-Being Resources in Non–Memory-Led Dementias: Quantitative Survey Study Background: Digital platforms disseminating health information and providing support for the experience of non-memory-led dementias (NMLDs) are invaluable. However, the factors influencing engagement with these resources in people affected by NMLDs are poorly understood. We conducted the world’s largest survey exploring the experience of digital access in NMLDs to learn directly from people with a diagnosis, their care partners, and NMLD health care professionals (HCPs). Objective: This study aimed to determine factors associated with digital health and well-being resource use in people with NMLD and their care partners and investigate differences in digital health and well-being resource use according to NMLD subtype. Methods: Individuals diagnosed with NMLD—for example, those with frontotemporal lobar degeneration, posterior cortical atrophy (PCA), and primary progressive aphasia (PPA)—their care partners, and NMLD HCPs (N=450) responded to the survey. A subset of care partners provided two responses (carer-related and proxy), generating 4 survey groups with responses (N=538). The survey included demographics and basic clinical information, the outcome measure of usage behavior, and factors including constructs from the Short Senior Technology Acceptance Model (Short STAM) and additional constructs informed by a combination of previous literature and consultation with NMLD experts-by-experience (anxiety and depression [Patient Health Questionnaire–4-item], instrumental activities of daily living, web-related privacy and security concerns, and digital health literacy). Separate multiple linear regressions were run for each survey group to elucidate which variables predicted higher use of digital health and well-being resources. The use of digital resources for health and well-being was also explored across 3 NMLD subtypes: frontotemporal dementia (FTD), PPA, and PCA. Results: Attitudinal belief was consistently the strongest predictor of digital health and well-being resource use in people with NMLD as well as caregivers and proxy respondents. Control belief was significantly associated with higher digital health and well-being resource use in the NMLD and proxy groups; a trend was observed in the carer group. The adjusted ² range (63.0%‐70.8%) denotes the variance in digital health and well-being resource use accounted for in the 3 models. Lower digital health and well-being resource use was associated with FTD diagnosis and caregiver groups relative to PPA and PCA. Conclusions: Collectively, these findings indicate several factors are critical to consider when designing digital health and well-being resources for people with NMLD and their caregivers, in particular targeting practical and emotional perceptions of digital resource use for health and well-being. This should be undertaken in combination with design considerations that address condition-specific cognitive profiles encountered by those living with NMLD diagnoses and those who care for them.
