Abstract


This literature review explores the potential benefits and implementation challenges of smart elderly care technologies. Findings show innovations like remote monitoring, wearables, and integrated care platforms can enhance safety, independence, and quality of life for seniors. However, barriers like unclear ROI, privacy risks, and user adoption issues exist. For successful adoption, it is critical to assess tradeoffs, optimize for elderly users, lead culture change sensitively, and take a gradual approach. Harnessing technology thoughtfully while addressing human complexities is key to unlocking the value of smart elderly care.
