New technologies are an opportunity to complement psychoeducational interventions, diagnosis and medical care for these individuals, but it is important to design technologies tailored to each individual and validate their use in these programs. This paper reviews the assistive technologies currently in use and raises new challenges to respond to the central problems of this population such as early diagnosis, support in aging processes or access to the world of work and housing.
