Abstract
Objective: Explore the scientific evidence on the use of technologies to prevent the risk of falls in the elderly in the community. Methodology: Integrative literature review in PubMed, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences and Scientific Electronic Library Online. To integrate the review, the studies needed to respond to 70% of the statements in the review checklist, to validate the quality of the manuscript. Results: 18 studies were identified, which showed the use of health technologies to mitigate the risk of falls, external and internal risk factors for the occurrence of falls and knowledge about falls as a preventive measure. Conclusions: The use of technologies allows the identification of risk factors for falls and can support the multidisciplinary planning of care based on the individualities of the elderly.
