As telehealth reshapes healthcare, the landscape for persons with dementia and their caregivers is rapidly evolving. Our scoping review examines how digital health equity was addressed or examined in the context of telehealth interventions among PwD and their family caregivers. We conducted a scoping review and used four electronic databases, PubMed, CINHAL, Embase, and Scopus, using combinations of keywords including "digital literacy," "caregivers," and "dementia." We analyzed 8 studies that met the inclusion criteria. Almost half of the studies were descriptive studies and have emphasized the importance of educating digital inclusiveness to all stakeholders including nurses.

Background: In the realm of Evidence-Based Medicine, introduced by Gordon Guyatt in the early 1990s, the integration of machine learning technologies marks a significant advancement towards more objective, evidence-driven healthcare. Evidence-Based Medicine principles focus on using the best available scientific evidence for clinical decision-making, enhancing healthcare quality and consistency by integrating this evidence with clinician expertise and patient values. Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) and Patient-Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) have become essential in evaluating the broader impacts of treatments, especially for chronic conditions like HIV, reflecting patient health and well-being comprehensively.

Background: Residual speech sound disorder (RSSD) is a high-prevalence condition that negatively impacts social and academic participation. Telepractice service delivery has the potential to expand access to technology-enhanced intervention methods that can help remediate RSSD, but it is not known whether remote service delivery is associated with a reduction in the efficacy of these methods. This project will systematically measure the outcomes of visual-acoustic biofeedback intervention when delivered in-person or online.
