Health economic assessment of technologies for preventing cognitive impairment in elderly people living at home: The case of the digital tablet combined with human support
The study addresses the challenges of cognitive impairment in an aging population, focusing on the health economic assessment of technologies used by community-dwelling older adults to support cognitive function.
Objective
To conduct a systematic review of economic evaluations of digital tablets combined with human support in preventing cognitive impairment in elderly people living at home.
Methods
The following databases were used: PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Cochrane library. A total of 45 articles from 2000 to 2024 were identified and screened following the PRISMA guidelines.
Results
One protocol study and one randomized control trial were included.
Conclusions
The economic evaluation of tablet-based digital intervention for older adults with cognitive impairments is underexplored, necessitating broader research on technology use in this area.
