Abstract
Purpose: This systematic review aims to update the results related to user interfaces and digital technologies that support the social interactions of older adults. Multiple innovative technological forms in existing research were evaluated to obtain evidence that digital technologies improve older adults' quality of life and social well-being.
Materials and methods: A search for relevant studies published in the last five years was conducted using the databases of Google Scholar, IEEE Xplore, PubMed, Scopus, Springer Link and Web of Science.
Results: Of the 4959 records identified, a total of 29 studies met the inclusion criteria. The findings were reviewed in three areas: social interaction of older adults supported by user interface, the digital technologies used in the user interface, and the effects of user interfaces on the social interactions of older adults.
Conclusions: Future research should develop digital technologies and service models to enhance the quality of life of older adults. Long-term solutions to promote social interaction in older adults require more user interface support. Community connection-based user interfaces can support existing social relationships and develop new social circles for older adults.
目的:本系统综述旨在更新与支持老年人社交互动的用户界面和数字技术相关的成果。对现有研究中的多种创新技术形式进行评估,以获得数字技术能改善老年人生活质量和社会福祉的证据:使用 Google Scholar、IEEE Xplore、PubMed、Scopus、Springer Link 和 Web of Science 等数据库对过去五年发表的相关研究进行了搜索:在 4959 条记录中,共有 29 项研究符合纳入标准。研究结果分为三个方面:用户界面支持下的老年人社交互动、用户界面中使用的数字技术以及用户界面对老年人社交互动的影响:未来的研究应开发数字技术和服务模式,以提高老年人的生活质量。促进老年人社交互动的长期解决方案需要更多的用户界面支持。基于社区连接的用户界面可以支持现有的社会关系,并为老年人开发新的社交圈。
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
