Enhancing Enrollment and Adherence in Long-Term Wearable Research on Dementia: Qualitative Systematic Review and Meta-Synthesis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With the rapid expansion of wearable technologies, there is increased interest in their utility for passive data collection applications in research on aging. Wearables can be beneficial for research with people with dementia and their families, who have burdens that can make both study participation and reliable data collection more difficult, especially as dementia progresses, but their use also has challenges. Population-specific issues affecting the success of wearables for data collection can include remembering to wear a device, fluctuating acceptance of the device or study participation, and reliance on already strained caregivers.

Objective

This study aimed to systematically evaluate contemporary wearables research to describe persons with dementia's exper
