AB - Conversational artificial intelligence (AI) technologies hold significant promise to support the independence,well-being and safety of older adults living with frailty ordementia at home. However, further studies are needed toidentify: 1) valuable scenarios of support, 2) desired interactivefeatures, and 3) key challenges preventing long-term adoptionand utility in dementia care. In this paper, we explore therole of conversational technology in ageing and dementia careat home. Using a community-based participatory approach, weengaged 20 stakeholders, including people with lived experienceof dementia and frailty, to understand preferences, perceivedbenefits and concerns about integrating conversational AIinto daily routines at home. We uncovered key roles of thetechnology, including support of daily functions, health monitoring, risk mitigation, and cognitive stimulation. We emphasizethe need for adapting interactions to different levels of userfamiliarity and progression of cognitive decline. We addressthe importance of the communication style and suggest carefuluse of open-ended questions with target populations. We furtherdiscuss feasibility considerations to overcome current barriersto adoption. Overall, this work proposes design guidelines toshape the future conceptualization and development of naturallanguage interactions to support dementia care at home.
