Abstract
Smart home technology implementation remains an essential aspect of Internet of Things (IoT). It provides needed living support and convenience for elderly people in society. Despite the remarkable achievements in smart home monitoring technology studies, a systematic literature review (SLR) on smart home technology implementation is lacking. There is a limited number of SLR studies on smart home monitoring technology. Therefore, the current study assesses the literature to collect the evidence regarding studies on smart home monitoring technology implantation. An SLR method involving a manual search was applied to review the articles published from January 2010 to December 2019. To carefully classify these articles accordingly, we applied certain quality assessment criteria. Out of 73 relevant primary studies, only 3% were identified to have applied comprehensive SLR guidelines. Seven percent of the relevant studies were identified to have applied the SLR guidelines in a strongly moderately acceptable manner, but they were not completely comprehensive, whereas 8% of the primary studies applied the SLR guideline in a fairly acceptable manner. This manuscript therefore encourages researchers working on SLR studies on smart home technology to apply comprehensive SLR guidelines that takes into account the quality standard.

The authors present the summary of the results of the current systematic literature review (SLR) study based on the following key factors: (i) search results, (ii) quality evaluation, and (iii) quality factors
A total of 73 primary studies were systematically synthesized in the current SLR
Summary
Smart home technologies are essential for improving living standards among the elderly. The number of elderly people in various families and communities increases. [PS27] reported that the population of elderly people is likely to reach 21% of the world’s population in 2040. Some developed countries like the United States of America, Germany, France, Italy and Japan are concerned by the number of elderly people among their populations [1]. In 1995, the United States Census Bureau reported that the population of elderly people aged 65 and above accounted for 12.8 % of the total population. The forecast shows that by 2025, the population of the elderly in the United States is likely to amount to one fifth of the total population [1].
