Abstract

Dementia is a health challenge faced by people from all over the world. From the perspective of respecting the needs of people with dementia and the caregivers, user interface can improve the quality of life and the emotional needs of people with dementia besides supporting the humanized work needs of caregivers. This study selected user interfaces developed for people with dementia in the past five years. A systematic literature review explored the types of user interface that help people with dementia and looked at how these user interfaces can help improve their daily living abilities and nursing care surroundings. The main contribution of this study is in providing researchers with an understanding that the current focus on people with dementia has shifted from basic physiological needs to a meaningful and normal life. The development of a valuable user interface combined with non-pharmaceutical interventions can help people with dementia have a better quality of life.
