Abstract

The delivery of quality healthcare services to the growing number of older people is a crucial concern for any country. Digital healthcare technologies may play an essential role in providing high-quality health services. In the case of elderly healthcare, such technologies are helping the elderly with accessible quality healthcare. This study identifies such research work where the elderly population is the primary user of the technologies related to the healthcare domain. We extracted the research articles from three databases: ACM Digital, IEEE and Science Direct, to conduct the systematic review. We used a web application to avoid biases in the research articles selection procedure and performed a quality assessment. The study selection process yielded fifteen research articles published between January 2011 to February 2022. This study investigates the various uses of digital interventions in elderly healthcare and provides a comprehensive overview of demographic information, study characteristics, research areas, significant challenges and future directions. Moreover, this study discusses the implications of the results and provides future recommendations. Hence, we believe this systematic review will be helpful for other researchers working in the field of elderly healthcare and similar research areas.
