Digital Interventions for Older People Experiencing Homelessness: Systematic Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

older people experiencing homelessness can have mental and physical indicators of aging several decades earlier than the general population and experience premature mortality due to age-related chronic conditions. Digital interventions could positively impact the health and well-being of homeless people. However, increased reliance on digital delivery may also perpetuate digital inequalities for socially excluded groups. The potential triple disadvantage of being older, homeless, and digitally excluded creates a uniquely problematic situation warranting further research. Few studies have synthesized available literature on digital interventions for older people experiencing homelessness.

Objective

This scoping review examined the use, range, and nature of digital
