Of those, gamified technology, apps, and web-based approaches were most commonly studied. An emerging technology identified was virtual reality based delivery. There was great heterogeneity in the evidence of effectiveness of the technology-based interventions\u00a0on cognitive, functional and wellbeing outcomes as reported in the studies included here. There was also great variability across the studies in how the interventions were designed and implemented and what and how many outcomes were measured.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review supports that the majority of the digital interventions for cognitive and psychosocial interventions are being developed and tested for administration under real-time supervision by a trained professional and not for unsupervised home environments. Notwithstanding, technology suitable for home use such as gamified tasks, apps and web\/internet-based approaches were found to be the most prominent interfaces for digital interventions. Virtual reality (VR) based interventions, e.g., using simple headsets, must also be considered as intervention tools with high potential for home use mitigating issues of limited mobility through cognitive-physical training (combining physical \u2013 exergaming \u2013 and cognitive training).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0346008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,30]],"date-time":"2026-04-30T17:51:16Z","timestamp":1777571476000},"page":"e0346008","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The use of digital technology in non-pharmacological cognitive and psychosocial interventions for people with dementia and mild cognitive impairment: A scoping review"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Ana B.","family":"Vivas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Imran","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qarin","family":"Lood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pierre","family":"Gander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mia","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Simon","family":"Nielsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1525-0745","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Robert","family":"Lowe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0346008.ref001","volume-title":"Global status report on the public health response to dementia","author":"World Health Organization","year":"2021"},{"issue":"8","key":"pone.0346008.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1977","DOI":"10.1007\/s10072-020-04512-4","article-title":"Dementia care and COVID-19 pandemic: a necessary digital revolution","volume":"41","author":"L Cuffaro","year":"2020","journal-title":"Neurol Sci"},{"issue":"3","key":"pone.0346008.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"131","DOI":"10.1159\/000497800","article-title":"Technology and Dementia: The Future is Now","volume":"47","author":"AJ Astell","year":"2019","journal-title":"Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord"},{"key":"pone.0346008.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Coutrot A, Patai E, Silva R, Manley E, Weiner JM, Dalton RC, et al.
