Modern Information and Communication Technology (ICT) may significantly improve health care of the elderly. In our paper, we summarize the most common ICT tools, and present the results of the most important clinical studies regarding the use of ICT methods in elderly and in patients with dementia. Based on the promising preliminary findings, further studies are needed to develop complex methods that maximize the benefits of ICT tools and to improve the quality of life of the elderly and also to relieve the burden of their relatives and caregivers.
