Cognitive decline is becoming more prevalent as population ages. Technology offers solutions to help people with cognitive decline age in place. A compassionate approach to care can promote engagement in technology use by older adults with cognitive decline and equitable access. This scoping review summarized research literature on approaches to design and selection of technology that could support a compassionate approach to technology use for daily functioning among adults with cognitive decline and their care partners. We used the framework of Arksey and O'Malley. Key words capturing constructs of compassion, technology, and cognitive decline were searched in CINAHL, Medline, and PsycINFO. Peer-reviewed articles about the design for or use of technology by persons with cognitive decline or their care partners were included. Two reviewers screened and extracted data. Data informing compassionate technology use were analysed thematically. Fifty-five included articles represented a variety of technologies and purposes with ethics being the predominant perspective (n = 15). Analysis identified four categories: 1) Person- and care partner-centered approach, 2) Tailoring design to abilities, 3) Tailoring selection and application, and 4) Training and support. Using study findings, we developed a framework for compassionate use of technology for people living with cognitive decline and their care partners. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION: Compassionate approach to technology design and selection for person with cognitive decline and their care partners involves supporting autonomy, and consideration of ethical issues and specific technology purpose A family-centered care with a strong relational component is important when selecting technology with people with cognitive decline Healthcare providers and industry representatives require training to understand and adapt their approach to meet the needs of individuals living with cognitive decline and their care partners.
