People aged 65 and older make up 19% of Canada's population and are expected to reach 25% by 2030. With the accelerated aging of the population, the prevalence of cognitive disorders is increasing sharply, particularly Alzheimer's disease, dementia and mild cognitive impairment. The consequences of these cognitive disorders are often far-reaching-for those affected, their relatives, healthcare professionals and society as a whole. Digital health technologies offer promising solutions to improve the assessment, monitoring and treatment of neurocognitive disorders in older people. These technologies can improve access to health information, enable faster diagnosis and treatment, and improve access to care and services for patients at home, in healthcare facilities, and in rural and remote communities. However, the potential benefits associated with the use of these technologies cannot be realized without the engagement of the people who use them. User engagement is therefore an essential element in realizing the full potential of health technologies. To promote optimal engagement of people using digital health technologies, their needs, preferences and abilities to use these technologies must be taken into account. User engagement with digital health technologies is therefore a key factor in maximizing the benefits that these tools can bring.
