AbstractBehavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) refer to a cluster of symptoms, such as agitation, irritability, aberrant motor behavior and depression, demonstrated by persons with dementia (Margallo‐Lana et al., 2001). The syndrome affects over 70% of institutionalized persons with dementia (Margallo‐Lana et al., 2001) and have increased caregiving stress of nurses and care workers (Song & Oh, 2015). This study aims at investigating if engagement with a Cantonese-speaking smart doll could reduce BPSD and improve social communication in persons with dementia.Keywords: dementia, smart doll, nursing homes, agitation, interaction
