The financial burden and the level of specialized care required to
look after older adults with dementia has reached the point of a
public health crisis. Older adults diagnosed and living with the
disorder reached 35.6 million worldwide in 2010 and is expected to
increase to 135.5 million in 2050, with costs soaring to $1.1
trillion. In the face of the increasing burden this disorder poses
to health care systems and the management of this patient
population, intelligent assistive technologies (IATs) represent a
remarkable and promising strategy to meet the need of persons
suffering from dementia. These technologies aim at helping
individuals compensate for specific physical and cognitive
deficits, and maintain a higher level of independence at home and
in everyday activities. However, the rapid development and
widespread implementation of these technologies are not without
associated challenges at multiple levels. An international and
multidisciplinary group of authors provide future-oriented and
in-depth analysis of IATs. Part I delineates the current landscape
of intelligent assistive technologies for dementia care and
age-related disability from a global perspective, while the
contributions in Part II analyze and address the major
psycho-social implications linked to the development and clinical
use of IATs. In the last section, essays examine the major ethical,
social and regulatory issues associated with the use of IATs in
dementia care. This volume provides an authoritative and
comprehensive overview of how IATs are reshaping dementia care.
