Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Emerging technology research focusing on promoting healthy lifestyles for the middle-aged and elderly is paramount in recent literature. However, limited evidence is available for the middle-aged population. This paper reviews how emerging technologies can help in promoting a healthy lifestyle for the middle-aged and elderly.
UNASSIGNED: A scoping literature review method was employed. Articles were extracted from online databases published within 2010-2021. Overall, 3,152 articles related to the topic were obtained and 2979 articles were archived via different search procedures. Moreover, 173 articles that met the inclusion criteria underwent qualitative synthesize for conclusive inferences.
UNASSIGNED: Most studies focused on people aged 60 and up, leaving the middle-aged population under-studied and unprepared to age. Older adults have high technology anxiety and resistance to change. Limited studies are available to support technology-based healthy lifestyle promotion for middle-aged people. The emerging technologies that are useful in promoting healthy lifestyle behavior among middle-aged people include: robotics, virtual reality, wearables, artificial intelligence, smart textiles, as well as centralized health information systems.
UNASSIGNED: This review sets as a pace-setter for future research on how emerging technologies can aid in the development of healthy lifestyles for the middle-aged and elderly population, allowing them to live a quality life as they age.
摘要:
专注于促进中老年人健康生活方式的新兴技术研究在最近的文献中至关重要。然而,中年人的证据有限。本文回顾了新兴技术如何帮助促进中老年人的健康生活方式。
采用范围界定文献综述法。文章摘自2010-2021年发布的在线数据库。总的来说,获得了3,152篇与该主题相关的文章,并通过不同的搜索程序存档了2979篇文章。此外,对符合纳入标准的173篇文章进行了定性综合,以得出结论。
大多数研究集中在60岁及以上的人群,使中年人群研究不足,没有做好年龄准备。老年人具有高度的技术焦虑和对变化的抵抗力。有限的研究可用于支持基于技术的健康生活方式促进中年人。在中年人中促进健康生活方式行为的新兴技术包括:机器人技术,虚拟现实,可穿戴设备,人工智能,智能纺织品,以及集中的卫生信息系统。
这篇评论为未来研究新兴技术如何帮助中老年人群发展健康的生活方式奠定了基础,随着年龄的增长,让他们过上高质量的生活。
