| contents | We conducted a scoping review to map the rapidly evolving landscape of wearable and ambient sensing technologies for monitoring people with dementia across home and institutional settings. We analyzed empirical sensing studies (2015-2025) to identify and inform future technical and human-centered design requirements. Five key implementation principles emerge: (1) human-centered design involving all stakeholders to augment rather than replace caregivers; (2) personalized, adaptable solutions that support autonomy across settings and severity levels instead of standardized approaches; (3) integration with existing workflows with adequate training and support; (4) proactive privacy and consent considerations, especially for ambient monitoring of residents and caregivers; and (5) cost-effective, ethical, equitable, scalable solutions with quantifiable outcomes. This paper identifies gaps, trends and opportunities for developing sensing systems that address the complex challenges, while enhancing automation and autonomy, in dementia care. |
