Effectiveness of telemedicine interventions on health outcomes in older adults with dementia: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of telemedicine interventions on health outcomes in older adults with dementia.
Conducted a systematic review of randomized controlled trials
Analyzed effects on activities of daily living and other health outcomes
Examined differences between video and device interventions
Telemedicine modestly enhances activities of daily living in dementia
Results for broader health outcomes show limited efficacy
Variations in intervention content and population severity influenced findings

Abstract

=87%) analyses. Subgroup differences between video and device interventions were nonsignificant.ConclusionsTelemedicine modestly enhances ADLs in dementia but lacks broad efficacy across other outcomes. Variations in intervention content, population severity, and technological accessibility may influence results. Future research should stratify by dementia severity, tailor interventions to cognitive levels, and integrate caregiver-focused approaches to optimize telemedicine impact.
