Abstract

Tools and techniques powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and its subfields like machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) have pervaded most disciplines across the global technological, economical, and sociocultural landscapes. In most areas, the permeation of AI has shown exceptional promise. Medicine and healthcare constitute a domain which has not remained aloof from the positive implications of harnessing AI. AI-driven tools, for instance in neuroimaging and health monitoring, have painted a tapestry of encouraging possibilities in this province. Such tools have found application in fields like assisting diagnosis, disease progression tracking, and patient management in many subjects within medicine. Intelligent conversation agents, more informally referred to as AI-based chatbots, form one of the most prevalent applications of AI. AI-fueled chatbots like ChatGPT have made rampant inroads into the lives of countless people around the world, easing innumerable routine tasks they are responsible for. This article offers a systematic but succinct overview of dementia, and, in this backdrop, explores the potential efficacy of a proposed intelligent conversation agent aimed at sufficing the fulfilment of the care-associated requirements of various stakeholders in dementia care. We provide an outline and a critical assessment and suggest future directions on the adoption of such a tool. We conclude that a smart conversation agent has the potential to positively overhaul the extant worldwide paradigm of dementia care.
