Telematic intervention in occupational therapy for people with Alzheimer

Introduction: Due to the new challenges and current life circumstances, we are faced with the need to innovate new interventions that can be carried out electronically. Occupational Therapy, either face-to-face or at a distance through information and communication technologies, can offer services to all those who are in isolation or a location without free sources. Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify interventional strategies that can be carried out telematically with people suffering from Alzheimer's and their families from Occupational Therapy. Method: A bibliographic search was performed in the Scopus databases and Google academic, in which publications such as guides and articles were included. Results: Four areas of telematics practice of occupational therapy for people suffering from Alzheimer and their families are highlighted: Intervention in occupational routines, advice on technologies and support products, advice on stimulation exercises, and advice on motor exercises. Conclusion: From occupational therapy, a telematics approach can be performed for people suffering from Alzheimer's, but more scientific studies are needed to demonstrate this.
