Technological applications to enhance independence in daily activities for older adults: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Monitoring daily activities in older adults using sensor technologies has grown significantly over the past two decades, evolving from simple tools to advanced systems that integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) for predictive monitoring. Despite these advances, there is still a need for a comprehensive review that addresses both technological progress and its impact on autonomous aging.

Objective

To conduct a systematic review of sensor technologies used to monitor the daily activities of independent older adults, focusing on sensor types, applications, usage contexts, and their evolution over time.

Methodology

A search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycInfo, and Google Scholar databases, covering studi
