![]() ![]() The world population continues to grow older. A patient-centred approach for developing, implementing and evaluating technology benefits ageing in place. The use of a neurofeedback headband, an accessible computer system, a wristband with pedometer, a biofeedback device and an online video platform can bring added value to ageing in place for healthy older adults. Thus, there is a need to investigate the subject in depth. ![]() Literature concerning technology to support ageing, based on controlled trials and research performed in authentic home situations, is scarce. Patient-centredness was extensively addressed by exploring how the participants engaged in the development and evaluation of the technology and how they were trained and monitored. ![]() ![]() Through narrative analysis, technologies were categorised into three groups: accessible communication, emergency assistance and physical and mental well-being. The search identified 3662 articles of which only 7 made the final analysis. PRISMA guidelines and the risk of bias tool of the Cochrane Collaboration were applied. Studies were included if they contained a technological intervention and focussed on supporting healthy older adults’ independent living. MethodsÄatabases Pubmed, Scopus, PsycInfo and Cinahl were consulted for clinical controlled trials or randomised controlled trials between 20. As well we explored the methods in engagement with technology in healthy older adults. The objective of this systematic review is to identify technologies that have been rigorously evaluated for supporting the ageing in place of healthy older adults. Technology has the potential to facilitate independence at home. Ageing in place has recently gained visibility in healthcare policies and services. ![]()
