About
David Neal is a leading researcher at the intersection of dementia care and digital health innovation, with a primary focus on how assistive technologies can support social health and independence for people living with dementia. His major contributions center on synthesizing evidence to bridge the gap between technological promise and real-world implementation, particularly for community-dwelling individuals. As a key member of the INTERDEM AI & Assistive Technology Taskforce, Neal co-authored a landmark systematic review of systematic reviews (2025) that critically appraised the state of digital assistive technologies, building on a foundational 2017 position paper that first identified persistent challenges in the field. This work has already garnered attention with early citations, reflecting its timely importance. Neal’s research is distinguished by its rigorous methodological approach to evaluating complex interventions, and his efforts are instrumental in shaping how researchers, clinicians, and technologists collaborate to create meaningful, ethical, and accessible digital solutions for aging populations. His work continues to influence policy and practice in dementia care technology.
