Double-Bind of Recruitment of Older Adults Into Studies of Successful Aging via Assistive Information and Communication Technologies: Mapping Review

Abstract: Background Two fields of research and development targeting the needs of the aging population of the world are flourishing, successful aging and assistive information and communication technologies (A-ICTs). The risks of ageist stereotypes emerging from how we communicate in both discourses are long known. This raises questions about whether using specific age criteria in the context of “aging deficits” can bias participation in, or compliance with, the research process by older adults who try to a… Show more

“…Therefore, gerontechnology has enormous potential to ensure better care and an improved sense of security and quality of life for older adults [3], but it also clashes with three different types of barriers, such as decreased cognitive functions, accessibility, and a lack of knowledge about technology [4,5]. In fact, although gerontechnology is really supportive of daily living, over the last few decades, several studies have investigated the numerous reasons why older individuals are less inclined to use technology [6].…”

“…A qualitative study of Technologies in Later Life (TILL) in 37 rural communities indicates that older adults may welcome the introduction of ICTs to their lives by their children, and deem them useful for creating connections, while at the same time acknowledging that the adoption of ICTS do not fully correspond to their actual needs or interests ( Freeman et al, 2020 ). Issues surrounding older adults’ adherence and acceptance of ICTs in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) has been documented by Khalili-Mahani and Sawchuk (2022) . Furthermore, there remains inconsistency as to whether ICTs are efficacious in reducing loneliness and increasing social connectedness as measured with RCTs.…”
