Wearable Technologies for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention in Older Adults: Systematic Scoping Review and Evidence Map

Wearable devices hold great promise for promoting health in older adults, but several hurdles remain for full adoption. A broader and more diverse group of older adults is needed to identify the most beneficial wearables and to optimize the technology. Further studies are required to statistically synthesize real-world performance and evaluation results. We hope that this review will serve as a valuable reference for the development of wearable devices in older adults.
