老年痴呆症患者往往依赖护理人员管理他们的药物。在这一人群中，药物治疗方案的复杂性可能会阻碍药物依从性（即按处方服药），这可能会损害治疗的有效性，并增加费用和疾病负担。已经使用了不同的技术设备来改善药物依从性，然而，这些设备往往没有基于证据或在设计时没有最终用户的参与，从而影响了痴呆症患者及其护理人员对其的接受程度。这反过来又会影响这种装置的有效性和吸收。本研究旨在探讨老年痴呆症患者及其护理人员坚持服药的挑战，以指导未来有效、实用和可持续的技术解决方案的发展。
Older people with dementia often depend on caregivers to manage their medications. The complexity of medication regimens in this population can impede medication adherence (i.e., taking medications as prescribed), which may compromise the effectiveness of treatment and increase the cost and burden of illness. Different technological devices have been used to improve medication adherence, however, these devices are often not evidence-based or designed with end-user involvement, thereby affecting their acceptability by people living with dementia and their caregivers. This in turn, can influence the effectiveness and uptake of such devices. This study aims to explore the challenges of medication adherence for both older people with dementia and their caregivers to guide the development of future technological solutions that can be effective, practical and sustainable.
