Examining public acceptance of AI versus human-centric dementia care across NHS England's dementia pathway stages
There are over five-hundred-thousand individuals with recorded dementia diagnoses in England, highlighting an urgent need for scalable and effective care solutions to ease pressure on health and social care systems. Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled smart home systems are emerging as promising digital health innovations, offering cognitive support, real-time monitoring, and decision-making assistance. However, concerns around trust, user agency, and misconceptions about AI continue to limit acceptance and may…
Participants rated full-control AI least acceptable in later dementia care stages such as Living well and Dying well, signalling trust and autonomy barriers to adoption.
The evidence comes from ratings of hypothetical vignettes by participants aged 55-64, so it measures attitudes rather than real-world outcomes of AI dementia care.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1714 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
