Abstract: Smart technologies help people with their daily activities and ease their lives. This study is focused on a review of smart technologies designed for people with dementia, predominantly with Alzheimer’s disease. As the population gets older, the number of patients with AD and the burden on the economy will grow. Many modern technologies enable people in the first stages of AD to remain active. In later stages, technology enables them to stay at home longer before hospitalization. Technology also significantly eases the work for caregivers and family.
