The rates of dementia are on the rise as populations age. Storytelling is commonly used in therapies for persons living with dementia and can be in the form of life review, and reminiscence therapy. A systematic literature review was conducted to examine the range and extent of the use of digital technologies for facilitating storytelling in older adults and their care partners, and to identify the processes and methods, the technologies used and their readiness levels, the evidence, and the associated outcomes. Eight electronic databases were searched: Medline, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Abstracts in Social Gerontology, ERIC, Web of Science, and Scopus. We included 34 studies. Mild cognitive impairment or dementia represented over half of medical conditions reported in the studies. Overall, our findings indicate that the most common use of digital storytelling was to support older adults’ memory, reminiscence, identity, and self-confidence; however, the level of evidence of its effectiveness was low.

Assessment Problems

Heterogeneity of symptoms within and among mild cognitive impairment individuals often makes it challenging to document case reports clinically. Additionally, data on the Indian population is also limited. Therefore, our study includes a case study of a 56-year-old male with mild cognitive impairment from our Institute. A patient had symptoms of mild cognitive impairment following a stroke that occurred 23 years back (vascular in origin). Both formal and informal assessments were carried out. Formal testing was done using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. On assessment of memory, mild deficits in working memory, episodic memory, and procedural memory were noticed. Attention span and Word-finding difficulties with reduced use of words were observed in language assessment. Problems in reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making skills, indicating deficits in executive functioning were evident. Linguistic deficits presenting secondary to cognitive deficits in our client could have led to communication breakdowns in speech, affecting his overall quality of life.
