“…One-on-one mentoring involved pairing a younger and an older person, with the younger person acting as a mentor. [19,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. The pairs were determined by technological or social interests [24].…”

“…The pair either saw each other at an agreed time and place [27,28] or they worked together during a course or class. Young people held one-on-one sessions to coach and mentor older adults to learn to use technology [19,[22][23][24][25]29,30]. In some sessions the older adults brought along their own devices.…”

“…Mentors organized workshops which aimed to introduce older adults to technology and computer use [25]. Digital competence development was also pursued through a variety of computer, internet and technology courses [24,[29][30][31][32][33][34]. Young people acted as course instructors and teachers, assessing the computer skills and developing the goals and objectives of each participant [31] and teaching them to use the internet and social media [26].…”

Due to the rapid digitalization of healthcare, it is important to strengthen professionals’ digital competence, particularly to support older professionals to stay in work until retirement age. People of different ages have different digital competencies. Younger generations are ‘digital natives’ who have learned to use digital devices fluently from a young age, while older generations have had to learn to use them in adulthood. The increasing number of new technologies causes in some cases stress, especially for more older healthcare workers. Intergenerational learning methods for developing digital competence may offer a way to narrow digital competence gaps in healthcare. The aim of this scoping review was to identify current evidence regarding intergenerational learning methods for developing digital competence, and their outcomes. The results can be used to help develop methods for intergenerational digital competence development and improve healthcare professionals’ digital competence. A scoping review was conducted across four databases (Scopus, CINAHL, Web of Science, ProQuest) without time limits. The search produced 2905 references, of which 23 studies are included in the review. Thematic analysis was used to analyze these studies’ results. The results showed that a key method for intergenerational digital competence development is reverse mentoring, where a less experienced person serves as a mentor to a more experienced one. Intergenerational digital competence development methods can be done one-on-one or in groups, in classes or on digital platforms. The outcomes of these methods illustrated that they promote mutual learning, increase the digital competence of older adults and the work life skills of young mentors, and narrow the gap between generations. Using such methods, it is possible to make better use of each generation’s expertise. Intergenerational learning could suggest ways of narrowing the digital gap and enhancing intergenerational communication. Healthcare could benefit from implementing intergenerational learning methods for developing digital competence, increasing the digital competence of healthcare professionals, and narrowing the gap between generations.

“…Other barriers are lack of joyful activities [54,59,69,80] that can be integrated into real-life collaboration [46,50], the lack of technical training for digital collaboration [63], insufficient technological access [52,63,69] without a supportive technological environment [52,55,56,69,81], and the complexity of technology [56,65,82]. In some cases, the collaboration between the two generations could also be challenging because there is no right time for an appointment [21,32,83]. The differences in routine patterns are unclear [13,35,78].…”

So far, researchers have used a wellbeing-centered approach to catalyze successful intergenerational collaboration (IGC) in innovative activities. However, due to the subject’s multidisciplinary nature, there is still a dearth of comprehensive research devoted to constructing the IGC system. Thus, the purpose of this study is to fill a research void by providing a conceptual framework for information technology (IT) system designers to use as a jumping-off point for designing an IGC system with a wellbeing-oriented design. A systematic literature study was conducted to identify relevant terms and develop a conceptual framework based on a review of 75 selected scientific papers. The result consists of prominent thematic linkages and a conceptual framework related to design technology for IGC systems. The conceptual framework provides a comprehensive overview of IGC systems in the innovation process by identifying five barrier dimensions and using six wellbeing determinants as IGC catalysts. Moreover, this study discusses future directions for research on IGC systems. This study offers a novel contribution by shifting the technology design process from an age-based design approach to wellbeing-driven IGC systems. Additional avenues for investigation were revealed through the analysis of the study’s findings.
