BACKGROUND This is a systematic review of randomized controlled trials and a meta-analysis comparing smart-technology to face-to-face physical activity (PA) interventions, in community-dwelling older adults, mean age greater than or equal 60 years. OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of smart-technology interventions compared to face-to-face PA interventions on PA and physical function in older adults. Our secondary outcomes were depression, anxiety, and health-related quality of life. METHODS We searched four electronic databases from inception to February 2021. Two independent reviewers screened titles/abstracts, full texts, and performed data extraction and risk of bias assessments using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. GRADE was used to evaluate the quality of the evidence. We provided a narrative synthesis on all included studies and, where possible, we performed meta-analyses for similar outcomes. RESULTS 19 studies with a total of 3455 patients were included. Random-effects meta-analyses showed that smart-technology interventions resulted in improved step count (mean difference 1440 steps, 95% confidence interval (CI) 500, 2390) and total PA (standardized mean difference 0.17, 95% CI 0.02, 0.32) compared to face-face interventions. The quality of the evidence for the effects of smart-technology interventions was very low based on GRADE criteria. There was no difference between groups for measures of physical function. CONCLUSIONS Interventions that include smart-technology may improve daily step counts by an average of 1440 steps in community dwelling older adults, however the quality of the evidence was very low. Future studies are needed to improve the certainty of results.

Abstract Background and objectives:Smart technology in nursing home settings has potential to elevate an operation that manages a larger number of elderly residents. However, the concepts, definitions and scopes of ‘smartness’, integrated medical services and stakeholders’ acceptability of a smart nursing home are less clear. This scoping review aims to define a smart nursing home and examine the qualitative evidence on technological feasibility, integration of medical services and acceptability of the stakeholders. Methods:Comprehensive searches were conducted on stakeholders’ websites and 11 electronic databases for existing concepts of a smart nursing home (Phase 1), and on what and how technologies and medical services were implemented in nursing home settings, as well as acceptability assessment by the stakeholders (Phase 2). The publication year was inclusive of January 1999 to September 2021. The language was limited to English and Chinese. Included articles must report nursing home settings and related to older adults ≥ 60 years old with or without medical demands but not bed-bound. New technology developments and system designs were measured by Technology Readiness Levels. The analysis was guided by Framework Method and the smart technology adoption behaviours of elder consumers theoretical model, and reported according to the PRISMA-ScR.Results:A total of 177 literature (13 website documents and 164 journal articles) were selected. Smart nursing homes are technology-assisted nursing homes that allow life enjoyment of its residents. They used IoT, computing technologies, cloud computing, big data and AI, information management systems, and digital health to integrate medical services in monitoring abnormal events, assisting daily living, teleconsultation, health information management, and improving interaction between providers and residents. Fifty-five percent of the new technologies were proven ready for use in nursing homes (level 6-7), and the remaining were proven of implementation feasibility (level 1-5). Providers with higher education, tech-savviness, fewer years at work, and older adults with more severe illnesses were more acceptable to smart technologies.Conclusions:Smart nursing homes with integrated medical services have great potential to improve the quality of care and ensure elderly residents’ quality of life.

Abstract The cognitive functioning as a general measure, is a criterion commonly used to define and operationalize successful aging(SA). The aim of this study is to analyze the specific role of memory (objective and subjective) and its relationship with the use of smart technology (ST) and SA.(Project-Conacyt-256589) Population based, random sample included n=453 community-dwelling older adults 60-years and older (mean age=72.51,SD=8.11 years,59.4%women). Memory was assessed through working memory(Digit Span Backward WAIS-IV), episodic memory, metamemory(self-report), subjective memory, and learning potential(RAVLT). SA was operationalized as no important disease, no disability, physical functioning, cognitive functioning, and being actively engaged. Participants were asked if they use cellphone, computer, or tablet. Pearson′s correlation test and linear regression models were performed. In total 11.2% were successful agers.53.6% used cellphone,14% computer,8% tablet, 44.1% any devise.Results show significant correlation between SA and subjective memory, learning potential and the use of ST. Results of the multiple regression analysis emerged on a significant model using the entered method:F=26.05,p>.000, explaining 21.4% of the variance of SA. Although objective memory measurements were no significant for SA, all memory measurements were related to the use of ST. Knowledge generated by this study reveals the specific role of the metamemory on the SA, underlining the relevance of subjectivity on aging. We need to reflect about the limitations of older adults to access to a digital world in order to achieve a SA.
