Recommendations for the development and use of technology to support people living with dementia and caregivers: A Delphi study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThis Delphi study, conducted by the INTERDEM Assistive Technology (AT) taskforce, explores existing and future challenges in the development, usability, cost-effectiveness, implementation, and ethics of AT for people living with dementia and caregivers. The study aims to identify key priorities and actions to address these challenges.
methodsA two-round modified electronic Delphi study was conducted with experts from health and social care, dementia research, technology development, people living with dementia, and caregivers.
resultsConsensus was reached on 23 key statements highlighting the need for a user-centered approach to AT development. Priorities included integrating AT into care plans, enhancing accessibility, and ensuring collaboration between stakeholders. Ethical considerations, digital literacy, and equitable access were also emphasized. DISCUSSION: Our findings refine and update previous recommendations on AT development and use. This Delphi study contributes to guiding future research, policy, and practice to ensure AT effectively supports people living with dementia and caregivers. HIGHLIGHTS: Co-designing technologies with users is crucial to ensure relevance and usability. Priorities in developing technology include improving access and affordability. Technology development should aim reducing disparities in digital access. Future research on technology should be inclusive and reflect real-life needs.
