20.500.12556/ReVIS-12940 Implementing smart technologies in rural elderly care: findings from an integrative literature review (2019.-2024.) This paper explores the role of smart technologies in supporting elderly individuals, particularly those in rural areas, to enhance their quality of life, social inclusion, and independence. Based on an analysis of selected scientific articles, it has been established that smart technologies, such as telemedicine systems, smart sensors, and digital platforms for social support, hold significant potential for improving healthcare and social care services for older adults. These tools reduce loneliness, improve safety, and enable elderly individuals to remain in their homes longer. Nonetheless, implementation challenges remain, especially due to the digital divide and limited technical skills among older users. Further research should explore effective strategies for user education, infrastructure development, and long-term impact evaluation to maximize the benefits of smart technologies for the elderly population. ageing population assistive technologies home care systems patient engagement telemedicine systems eHealth rural healthcare access staranje prebivalstva podporne tehnologije sistemi oskrbe na domu vključevanje pacientov sistemi telemedicine e-zdravje dostop do zdravstvenega varstva na podeželju true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2026-01-15 11:03:13 2026-01-15 11:03:13 2026-04-16 03:30:15 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 15. 1. 2026; str. 266-271 issue 27 Vol. 59 2025 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-01-01 364-783:004.9-053.9 2405-8963 264797187 10.1016/j.ifacol.2025.12.114 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S240589632502796X 1 6844c801-f1f9-11f0-94a7-001a4af901a5 https://revis.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=15269 1-s2.0-S240589632502796X-main.pdf 1-s2.0-S240589632502796X-main.pdf 1 D0CED2B101B241CE226B6770E9AFDD16 26158f7c96cfd1135c32dc34ae44d268d0d417467dd0cec829e7b1c75c231fcd ae0fc257-38d4-11f1-9cc3-001a4af901a5 https://revis.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=16293 Univerza Alma Mater Europaea 0 0 0
