Abstract

The expanding number of elderly persons in AfrAbia coincides with an increase in the frequency of dementia in these nations. Sufficient dementia knowledge is required to successfully offer therapies for people living with dementia. Telemedicine is the term used to describe the use of technology to provide medical care over a distance. Telemedicine has been used to provide simple and efficient healthcare solutions in the treatment of illness. Despite it is relatively new, mobile health (mHealth) has grown significantly in popularity as a means of assisting persons living with a chronic condition. The current study reviewed existing dementia status in AfrAbia from telemedicine perspective. For bibliometric analysis, Microsoft Excel, VOSviewer, SciMA, and CiteSpace tools were utilized. The relevant documents were chosen from the PubMed Core Collection. Only 86 original articles were retrieved from the PubMed. The first paper was published in 2012. There was an increased trend in the number of articles published since then. To bridge the gap between developed and less developed nations in dementia research, national and interinstitutional cooperation should be strengthened. Recent years have seen a decline in research enthusiasm in this topic, indicating that it has reached a rather mature stage. Teledementia could include a variety of strategies and resources to assist the AfrAbia community especially in caring for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease.
