在这篇综述中，我们重点介绍了各种应用于痴呆患者管理的综合护理模式。我们探索不同类型的辅助技术（移动、可穿戴和基于家庭的系统）用于痴呆症护理，特别强调涉及或针对非正式护理人员作为最终用户的技术。为了揭示痴呆症患者和护理人员之间信息共享、沟通和协作的需求，以有效和综合地管理痴呆症，我们分析了迄今为止研究和开发的趋势，我们试图理解和反思痴呆症辅助技术的现状，我们强调了尚未开发的领域，以指导未来的研究。我们还探讨了这些技术的成本效益和痴呆患者管理的综合护理模式，并评论了当前的局限性和未来的趋势和方向。研究结果表明，迫切需要和目前缺乏一个全面的和具有成本效益的解决方案，将信息系统技术纳入为痴呆症患者和他们的非正式照顾者提供综合护理服务。
In this review, we focus on the various integrated care models that have been applied for the management of dementia patients. We explore the different types of assistive technologies (mobile, wearable, and home-based systems) for dementia care, with a special emphasis on technologies that involve or target the informal caregiver as end user. In an attempt to reveal the needs for information sharing, communication, and collaboration between people with dementia and caregivers involved in the effective and integrated management of the disease, we analyze the trends in research and development to date, we seek to understand and reflect upon the state of the art in assistive technologies for dementia, and we highlight domains that appear underexplored, in order to guide future research. We also explore the cost effectiveness of such technologies and integrated care models for the management of dementia patients and comment on current limitations and future trends and directions. Findings indicate the urgent need and the current lack of a comprehensive and cost-effective solution that will incorporate information system technologies for the provision of integrated care services to dementia patients and their informal caregivers.
