Abstract
With the increasing aging of the population, the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) is increasing. This research aimed to review the existing IoT literature in aged care. We analyzed IoT using reports for aged care from online stores, so as to discover IoT technologies and applications in aged care. Current research shows that IoT technologies can help elderly people improve their quality of life and they can reduce the pressure on the healthcare system and minimize its operating costs. While previous studies have summarized IoT/wearable applications for geriatric purposes, it is still necessary to review the aged care field. This paper analyzed the IoT/wearable technologies, including a collection of the typical types of devices used in geriatric healthcare. Technology acceptance model (TAM) and familiarity and trust model1 (FTM1) were further conducted on these using reports to value why IoT technologies and applications are accepted. We found IoT applications are ready used in aged care. IoT applications were significant positive advantages for aging population monitoring.
