Background: Co-creation methods are increasingly being used in the research and development of technologies that support older adults living with dementia and their care partners to live well. Use of collaborative methods to engage with the dementia community helps to ensure that research processes and end solutions are sensitively designed, reflective of needs and values, and responsive to priorities. Engagement also has proximal benefits for older adults: Being involved in purposeful activity has been shown to positively impact health and wellbeing outcomes.
