Abstract

BackgroundThe 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.ObjectiveTo conduct a systematic review of economic evaluations of digital tablets combined with human support in preventing cognitive impairment in elderly people living at home.MethodsThe 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.ResultsOne protocol study and one randomized control trial were included.ConclusionsThe economic evaluation of tablet-based digital intervention for older adults with cognitive impairments is underexplored, necessitating broader research on technology use in this area.

Keywords: Alzheimer's disease; aged; cost-effectiveness; dementia; digital tablet; human support; mild cognitive impairment.
