A growing number of assistive technologies are being developed and evaluated in the field of dementia. With these technologies some psychosocial interventions may be delivered with more fun and/ or efficiency, which is considered important in this field with a growing number of needs and a declining number of people that can support in these needs. Technological support systems have evolved from simple, single tools to complex and integrated systems. In an INTERDEM state of the art position paper, we have reviewed issues regarding development, usability, (cost)effectiveness, deployment and ethics of assistive technologies for community dwelling people with dementia (Meiland et al., 2017). Some of these issues will be followed up in this symposium, where different types of technologies and different research methodologies in the field of dementia are presented. Scoping review, feasibility trials and randomized controlled trials are used to study various Assistive&Assisted Living services and computer-tablet interventions.
