  Dementia has serious consequences for the daily life of the person affected
due to the decline in the their cognitive, behavioral and functional abilities.
Caring for people living with dementia can be challenging and distressing.
Innovative solutions are becoming essential to enrich the lives of those
impacted and alleviate caregiver burdens. This scoping review, spanning
literature from 2010 to July 2023 in the field of Human-Computer Interaction
(HCI), offers a comprehensive look at how interactive technology contributes to
dementia care. Emphasizing technology's role in addressing the unique needs of
people with dementia (PwD) and their caregivers, this review encompasses
assistive devices, mobile applications, sensors, and GPS tracking. Delving into
challenges encountered in clinical and home-care settings, it succinctly
outlines the influence of cutting-edge technologies, such as wearables, virtual
reality, robots, and artificial intelligence, in supporting individuals with
dementia and their caregivers. We categorize current dementia-related
technologies into six groups based on their intended use and function: 1) daily
life monitoring, 2) daily life support, 3) social interaction and
communication, 4) well-being enhancement, 5) cognitive support, and 6)
caregiver support.
