The increasing prevalence of dementia worldwide presents significant challenges for both patients and caregivers. Dementia impairs cognitive functions, complicating daily routines and management of everyday tasks. As the disease progresses, patients often struggle with time management and maintaining a structured routine, which can lead to increased confusion and reduced quality of life.

During the qualitative phase, interviews with physicians and caregivers revealed themes such as the advantages of assistive technology and difficulties with implementation.
