Abstract
This study explores the factors influencing the availability of assistive technology for people with dementia through the application of machine learning. The analysis identified key factors, including carer support, protective legislation, and access to reimbursable products from the WHO Global Health Observatory. A random forest model with high accuracy emphasises the importance of targeted resources and policies in improving dementia care infrastructure.
