Technology can support the delivery of care and improve the lives of people living with dementia. However, despite a substantial body of evidence demonstrating the benefits and opportunities afforded by technology, gaps remain in how technology and technology ethics are addressed in dementia care education. Here we discuss disparities in current educational programming and highlight the ethical challenges arising from underdeveloped knowledge exchange about dementia care technology. We put forward that for technology to be ethically deployed and maximized to improve outcomes, it must be embedded into dementia education programs and made widely accessible to the caregiver community.
技术可以支持护理服务的提供，改善痴呆症患者的生活。然而，尽管有大量证据表明技术带来了益处和机遇，但在痴呆症护理教育中，技术和技术伦理的处理方式仍存在差距。在这里，我们讨论了当前教育计划中的差异，并强调了痴呆症护理技术知识交流不足所带来的伦理挑战。我们提出，为了使技术在道德上得到合理应用并最大限度地提高效果，必须将其嵌入痴呆症教育计划中，并广泛提供给护理人员社区。
