The use of eHealth for people with dementia has received substantial attention in recent years due to the rapid rise in the number of people with dementia and the challenges of developing tech-nology to support clients with dementia. World-wide, an estimated 35.6 million people suffered from dementia in 2010, with this figure expected to rise by 115.4 million by 2050. In 2010, the global costs attributed to dementia were 604 bil-lion US dollars 1 .

Technology and demenTia Technology applied effectively can allow people with dementia to live at home longer, resulting in improved quality of life, social interaction and significant cost-savings 2-7 .

Monitoring and signalling tech-nology appeared more suitable for people in a severe stage of dementia and provides a feeling of safety, both for them and their families. Social contact technology is most useful when it is used for people at the early stages of dementia and can be used to improve their quality of life 2 . Technology can help clients stay at home longer which is often a more cost-effective and conven-ient option than admission into a nursing home 3 .
