For older adults living with mild cognitive impairment or dementia, creative arts-based activities can offer many benefits from enjoyment as leisure/recreation to an avenue to maintain cognitive, social and emotional wellbeing. With growing interest and recognition that technology could have potential to assist in delivering these activities in more accessible and personalised ways, a scoping review was undertaken to systematically examine the scientific literature for technology-assisted creative arts activities for older adults living with dementia. We searched PubMed, PsychINFO, Web of Science, Scopus and ACM Digital Library databases using keywords centering on population with dementia, an intervention using technology, and a context of creative arts, with no restrictions on the type of outcome measured. We retrieved 3739 records, with an additional 22 from hand-searching. 51 full-text articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Findings of the review indicate technologies principally being designed for music activities (listening, and music-making), as well as storytelling and visual arts. The majority of devices were custom-made, with studies mainly reporting on validating the success of the device/intervention. This suggests most work in the field is currently at prototyping stage, although a few devices are now commercially available. Recommendations for future research includes involvement of participants reporting on their previous experiences in the arts and how this influences co-design choices, and inclusion of different severities of dementia in the participant/co-design group. Furthering device development past prototyping stage as well as collaboration between teams would enable comparisons to be made across different types of devices used for the same activity, and comparisons across arts-based activities that could lead to cross-disciplinary outcomes for the design of creative arts-based assistive technologies.
对于患有轻度认知障碍或痴呆症的老年人来说，创意艺术活动不仅可以作为休闲/娱乐的方式，还可以作为保持认知、社交和情感健康的途径，带来许多好处。随着人们越来越感兴趣并认识到，技术有可能以更便捷和个性化的方式提供这些活动，因此进行了范围综述，以系统地检查有关痴呆症老年人使用技术辅助创意艺术活动的科学文献。我们使用围绕痴呆症人群、使用技术的干预措施以及创意艺术背景的关键词，在 PubMed、PsychINFO、Web of Science、Scopus 和 ACM Digital Library 数据库中进行了搜索，没有对测量的结果类型进行任何限制。我们检索到 3739 条记录，另外通过手工搜索还增加了 22 条记录。有 51 篇全文文章符合纳入和排除标准。综述结果表明，技术主要用于音乐活动（听音乐和创作音乐）以及讲故事和视觉艺术。大多数设备都是定制的，研究主要报告了设备/干预措施的成功验证情况。这表明该领域的大部分工作目前处于原型设计阶段，尽管有一些设备现在已经商业化。未来研究的建议包括让参与者报告他们以前的艺术经验，以及这如何影响共同设计选择，以及在参与者/共同设计小组中纳入不同严重程度的痴呆症。将设备开发从原型设计阶段推进，并在团队之间进行合作，将使我们能够对用于同一活动的不同类型的设备进行比较，以及对不同艺术形式的活动进行比较，从而为创意艺术辅助技术的设计带来跨学科的成果。
