AbstractDigital applications to promote communication and engagement for people with dementia (PWD) are gaining increasing attention for their potential to improve interpersonal relationships and quality of life (Hoel et al, 2021). The ubiquitous availability of everyday digital technologies could enable widespread use by usual carers and families and support implementation of person-centered care practices in daily care. However, a major barrier for the adoption and effectiveness of these applications is the significant time and effort required to personalize them. which may not be practically achievable for many carers. In order to address this issue, a conceptual AI framework to automate personalization of a cognitive stimulation application has been co-created with a PWD and her daughter and its feasibility investigated.Keywords: AI, Communication, Engagement, Dementia, Co-creation
