Engaging older adults with a migration background to explore the usage of digital technologies in coping with dementia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coping with dementia can imply particular challenges for people with a migration background due to diversity in their life course, personal characteristics, and living environment. Some of the services available for people with dementia include digital technologies for care, providing health services, and maintaining or increasing participation, independence, and safety. This study aimed to explore the role of digital technology in coping with dementia in the lives of older adults with a migration background, and the possibilities to engage and collaborate with older adults.

Methods

This study combined a qualitative interview-based approach with citizen science principles in the design and execution of a project studying the use of Anne4Care.
