Background: Technology can be helpful in supporting people with dementia in their daily lives. However, people with dementia are often not fully involved in the development process of new technology. This lack of involvement of people with dementia in developing technology–based interventions can lead to the implementation of faulty and less suitable technology.
Objective: This systematic review aims to evaluate current approaches, and create best practice guidelines for involving people with dementia in developing technology–based interventions.
Methods: A systematic search was undertaken in January 2019 in the following databases: EMBASE, PsycINFO, MEDLINE, CINAHL and Web of Science. The search strategy included search terms in three categories: “dementia”, “technology”, and “involvement in development”. Narrative synthesis wove the evidence together in a structured approach.
Results: Twenty-one studies met the inclusion criteria. Most studies involved people with dementia in a single phase such as development (n = 10), feasibility and piloting (n = 7), or evaluation (n = 1). Only 3 studies described involvement in multiple phases. Frequent methods for involvement included focus groups, interviews, observations, and user tests.
Conclusions: Most studies concluded it was both necessary and feasible to involve people with dementia, which can be optimised by having the right prerequisites in place, ensuring technology meets standards of reliability and stability, and by providing a positive research experience for participants. Best practice guidelines for the involvement of people with dementia in developing technology–based interventions are described

This section of the Way involves quite a lot of up and down over a succession of hills and thier intervening valleys. Memory plays tricks and I had completely forgotten that there are so many hills in the Cleveland Hills! But here the are!

Press statement on the unfair and unwarranted accusations leveled against Ethiopia
It is indeed regrettable to note these days that there appears to be a concerted campaign to exert undue pressure against Ethiopia. In spite of the relentless efforts by the Ethiopian government to engage positively and constructively on issues and concerns raised by partners, it is being given a cold shoulder. That is why the Ethiopian government is being forced to question the motives of some of the partners, particularly given the public statements and pronouncements they made recently. They seem to be short of showing a genuine desire to understand and help Ethiopia overcome its current challenges; rather, they would only be counterproductive and exacerbating situations. Those statements and pronouncements as well as the fake news and speculations propagated through the media speak volumes in this regard. It is in this relation that the Ethiopian government finds it absolutely necessary, once again, to make its position unequivocally clear on some of the most important and salient issues.
1. On the Humanitarian response in the Tigray region
The Ethiopian government has not only demonstrated its willingness and commitment to work with the international community to respond to the humanitarian crisis in Tigray, but it has also provided full and unhindered access for humanitarian actors to operate in all parts of the region.
