Evolution of Cognitive Rehabilitation After Stroke From Traditional Techniques to Smart and Personalized Home-Based Information and Communication Technology Systems: Literature Review

BACKGROUND Loneliness and social isolation can have severe effects on human health and well-being. Partial solutions to combat these circumstances in demographically aging societies have been sought from the field of information and communication technology (ICT). OBJECTIVE This systematic literature review investigates the research conducted on older adults’ loneliness and social isolation, and physical ICTs, namely robots, wearables, and smart homes, in the era of ambient assisted living (AAL). The aim is to gain insight into how technology can help overcome loneliness and social isolation other than by fostering social communication with people and what the main open-ended challenges according to the reviewed studies are. METHODS The data were collected from 7 bibliographic databases. A preliminary search resulted in 1271 entries that were screened based on predefined inclusion criteria. The characteristics of the selected studies were coded, and the results were summarized to answer our research questions. RESULTS The final data set consisted of 23 empirical studies. We found out that ICT solutions such as smart homes can help detect and predict loneliness and social isolation, and technologies such as robotic pets and some other social robots can help alleviate loneliness to some extent. The main open-ended challenges across studies relate to the need for more robust study samples and study designs. Further, the reviewed studies report technology- and topic-specific open-ended challenges. CONCLUSIONS Technology can help assess older adults’ loneliness and social isolation, and alleviate loneliness without direct interaction with other people. The results are highly relevant in the COVID-19 era, where various social restrictions have been introduced all over the world, and the amount of research literature in this regard has increased recently.

However, not all of Indonesia local governments that implemented egovernment have a social media-based e-Government application. There is a chance that a certain city/regency at Indonesia using same social media-based e-Government application. If the application is seen in terms of features, each application also has different features combination, which are the strengths and the uniqueness of each application. In this study, there are 9 applications that examined from 9 cities / regency in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to analyse the relation between e-government and social media, in terms of using social media features and identified features that exist in each e-Government application that examined from 9 cities / regency in Indonesia with Systematic Literature Review. The feature found will be categorized with feature functionality categorization: Identity, Conversations, Sharing, Presence, Relationships, Reputation, and Groups. Each feature found can be having more than 1 feature functionality. The result of this study can be used as an indicator about features available at social media-based e-Government application and this study can be used to be a comparison or references for making another social media-based e-Government application in the future
