      ab: The use of technology on dementia patients' behavioral treatments has been a growing area of interest in recent years. The aim of incorporating technological devices into dementia behavioral treatments and interventions is to support patients in their everyday life activities, maintain or alleviate some of the cognitive and behavioral symptoms and foster social interaction. The objective of this review is to know how technology has been incorporated into work with dementias, to explore the advantages and disadvantages found, and to generate a theoretical discussion that allows to propose future lines of work. In doing so, a total of 30 original studies and theoretical reviews or meta-analyses were analyzed to understand the role of technology in several stages of dementia diagnosis and treatment, but also to explore whether technology has been used as a tool for working with dementia caregivers and relatives.
