“…In the following bubble chart, in Figure 2, we can see the strengths and limitations of the main assistive technologies included in this research. ChePa et al [8] proposed game-based psychotherapy as an alternative to costly pharmacological treatments for memory disorders, as it can stimulate brain activity and help individuals recall memories. This study tested the effectiveness of Neuro-therapy, a puzzlebased game, in an intervention program with a group of elderly individuals exhibiting memory disorder symptoms.…”

Information Technology (IT) plays a vital role in promoting sustainability and enabling independent living. People with cognitive disabilities face numerous challenges in their daily lives, such as social interactions, learning new things, and improving specific abilities. A variety of therapies and treatments have been introduced to help address these challenges. Recently, computer-assisted therapeutic procedures, treatment procedures, and assistive systems have emerged as beneficial tools to improve the lives of people with cognitive disabilities. Advances in technology have made it possible to develop effective applications specifically designed for this group of individuals. The objective of this paper is to identify potential applications of these developed solutions for people with cognitive disabilities, evaluate their effectiveness, strengths, and limitations, and understand their contribution in addressing various difficulties due to cognitive impairments. To achieve this goal, we reviewed 23 studies that demonstrate several applications developed for people with cognitive disabilities to address their unique issues. Our investigation indicates that the developed applications hold promise, although a few issues with cost-effectiveness, device transparency, and specific disability dependency may limit their effectiveness. Hence, this paper aims to shed light on these innovative applications, their implications, and their role in aiding users in tackling their specific challenges.

“…Against this backdrop, the development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) is presented as an opportunity to increase access to information and social interaction, promoting new forms of social relations, such as social networks, which facilitate the social integration of the elderly ( Cardozo et al, 2017 ; Castilla et al, 2018 ). However, these advances also bring with them challenges, such as the high speed of technological innovation and smartphone applications that are not always accessible ( ChePa et al, 2023 ) and understandable to OP ( Castilla et al, 2018 ).…”

“…These programs can improve the quality of life of participating seniors by enabling them to access online services, such as shopping, virtual healthcare, government paperwork, and banking services ( Mirmohammadkhani et al, 2020 ; Aggar et al, 2023 ), which can be significantly important depending on the mobility and self-esteem difficulties they suffer. Otherwise, it also improves physical health ( Ghorbanian and Nikou, 2021 ; Shi et al, 2021 ; Sobral and Sobral, 2021 ; Sriwisathiyakun and Dhamanitayakul, 2022 ), favors active aging, finding that highly digital seniors have a better healthy life ( Mizrachi et al, 2020 ), along with decreasing the negative effects of aging on health such as memory decline ( Chan et al, 2016 ; ChePa et al, 2023 ) for example. In addition, greater use of the internet is associated with a better quality of life ( Boz and Karatas, 2015 ).…”

IntroductionOlder people are the group with the greatest digital gap, so their digital literacy is important to improve the conditions in which they age.MethodsA study was conducted with pre- and post-evaluation of a digital literacy (DL) intervention in people aged 60 years and over. A total of 56 participants (experimental group N = 32 and control group N = 24) were recruited for convenience in community centers. The intervention was adapted to the needs of the participants, there were five face-to-face sessions and remote reinforcement for three months, carried out by trained university students for five months. Sociodemographic variables such as self-perception of socioeconomic level and education, among others, were evaluated. The impact was assessed using the digital literacy scale (MDPQ16), indicators of frequency and types of internet and mobile phone use, health literacy (SAHLSA and NSV), quality of life (SF-12), hedonic well-being (Diener’s SWLS and Cummins’ PWI) and perceived social support using the Zimet scale.ResultsThe intervention had a significant impact with an effect size of r = 0.27 on digital literacy, separate t-test comparisons revealed a markedly significant change for digital literacy in the experimental group, before and after the pre-post t-test(31) = 3.56, p = 0.001, but not in the control group, t(23) = 0.082, p = 0.93. No direct impact on health literacy, health-related quality of life, and hedonic well-being was identified. We examined the indirect impact of change in digital literacy and found that it correlated with improvements in well-being and social support, as well as quality of life. Individuals with significant changes were detected and compared with those who did not change.DiscussionEvaluation that contributes by identifying elements for improvement in future interventions and discusses the importance of culturally adapting continuing education in older people.
