Benefits and use of digital tools for health promotion and prevention for older people: A scoping review

Description

Digital technologies could contribute to health promotion and disease prevention. It is unclear if and how such digital technologies address the health needs of older people in non-clinical settings (ie, daily life). The aim of this project was to identify digital technologies for health promotion and disease prevention for older people in non-clinical settings using a scoping review methodology.
