Dementia-related products on an e-commerce platform
ABSTRACT
Dementia is a neurocognitive disorder of the elderly. While there are currently no medication treatment available to cure dementia, a number of biomedical technologies could be useful in assisting patients with dementia. With the continued growth of e-commerce, online shopping for aging and health related products will only continue to increase. Using Tmall marketplace as an example, the purpose of this viewpoint paper is to describe the current trends of dementia-related products and devices available on an e-commerce platform. Feedback and critiques in the form of consumer review comments should be utilized to improve the design of dementia-related products. Online medical product consumers however must be vigilant about effectiveness and risks of these biomedical devices.
