We aimed to describe recent technologic advances in the three domains of dementia care, falls, and home supports; summarize existing literature on usability; and identify knowledge gaps.
A comprehensive search of five databases for recent peer-reviewed publications was conducted in May 2020. Independent reviewers performed title/abstract review, full-text screening, data extraction, and study characteristic summarization.
Out of 2,696 citations, 151 articles were retrieved for full-text evaluation, after which 54 studies were included in this scoping review. For each domain, different technologies are available to enhance the health and well-being of older adults; many users deemed them usable and useful. Technologies targeted improving function, psychosocial and cognitive status, home safety, and caregiver burden. Barriers to widespread uptake include privacy concerns, suboptimal user experience, and willingness to accept assistance.
Technologic innovations directed toward dementia care, fall detection, and ambient-assisted living can aid older adults "aging in place."
我们旨在描述痴呆护理、跌倒和家庭支持三个领域的最新技术进展;总结现有关于可用性的文献;并确定知识空白。
于 2020 年 5 月对五个数据库进行了全面的同行评审出版物检索。独立审查员进行了标题/摘要审查、全文筛选、数据提取和研究特征总结。
在 2696 条引文中,有 151 篇文章进行了全文评估,之后有 54 项研究被纳入本范围综述。对于每个领域,都有不同的技术可用于增强老年人的健康和幸福感;许多用户认为它们具有可用性和实用性。这些技术旨在改善功能、心理社会和认知状态、家庭安全和照顾者负担。广泛采用的障碍包括隐私问题、用户体验不佳和接受援助的意愿。
针对痴呆护理、跌倒检测和环境辅助生活的技术创新可以帮助老年人“就地养老”。
