Overview

Systematic review reveals multi-domain barriers to gerontechnology adoption in older adults and caregivers, indicating the need for targeted rather than generalized policies.

Key Points

  • Synthesize existing research on gerontechnology acceptance to provide an integrated perspective covering both older adults and their caregivers.
  • Conducted a systematic review adhering to PRISMA guidelines across Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed databases for literature published from 2002 to 2022.
  • Included studies examining older individuals aged 50 years and above alongside formal and informal caregivers, synthesizing 25 critically evaluated publications thematically.
  • Identified that technology adoption among older adults and caregivers is governed by distinct personal, physical, socio-cultural, and technological factors.
  • Demonstrated that older adults and social caregivers form two heterogeneous groups with distinct needs, rendering generalized technology implementation policies ineffective.
