Wearable sensors for monitoring caregivers of people with dementia: a scoping review

Aim: This scoping review aims to provide a systematic map of the published evidence regarding the use of wearable sensors in caregivers of people with dementia. Findings: Wearable sensors were mainly used to monitor sleep and physical activity in informal caregivers of people with dementia based on wrist accelerometry for one or more weeks, with conflicting results. Message: For caregivers of people with dementia, the potential applications of wearable sensors remain incompletely explored, with significant gaps in our understanding due to limitations of the available evidence.
