Digital Interventions for Dementia and MCI: A Scoping Review of 114 Studies

114 articles from a scoping review identify digital technologies for cognitive training and psychosocial interventions in dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment. The dataset, authored by Ana B. Vivas and last updated in April 2026, likely contains extracted characteristics from studies published between 2012 and 2025. Gamified technology, apps, and web-based approaches were the most commonly studied intervention delivery methods.

Use Cases

• Mapping the prevalence of different digital intervention types (e.g., gamified, app-based, VR) based on the eight main categories identified.
• Analyzing the geographic distribution of studies on digital cognitive interventions as suggested by the review's objective.
• Investigating the heterogeneity in intervention design and outcome measurement reported across the included studies.

Strengths

• Includes 114 articles meeting specific inclusion criteria from a systematic search across seven databases.
• Follows established scoping review guidelines (Joanna Briggs Institute, PRISMA-SCR) with screening by seven reviewers.
• Identifies eight main categories of digital technology and notes emerging trends like virtual reality.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 53.5 KB file size suggests a limited scope, likely containing metadata and extracted characteristics rather than raw study data.
