Abstract(s)
Purpose: The phenomenon of demographic aging appears in developed countries essentially due
to an increase in longevity and a decrease in birth rates. This constitutes a challenge, due to the
need for a balance between the definition of health promotion and social protection policies. The
World Health Organization is preparing the development of a decade dedicated to healthy aging
(2020-2030), where older people are at the center of concerted and sustained actions, in the face
of the reality of increasingly long lives. In this context, this decade aims to build solid bases, with
concrete actions, aligned with the 2030 agenda (Sustainable Development Goals), where the
establishment of partnerships is essential for the development of a global change in the way we
think, feel and acts against the elderly and aging. Evidence-based decision-making arises at the
level of different sectors of society in optimizing the intrinsic capacity and functional capacity of the
elderly, as well as in strengthening communities in response to the phenomenon of aging, with
information and communication technologies being mentioned in this context. communication as
essential.
Design / methodology / approach: We developed a Scoping Review where we systematized
evidence regarding the understanding of the importance of information and communication
technologies as promoters of healthy aging.
Findings and Originality/value: The evidence found demonstrates the potential of information and
communication technologies in promoting personal training and improving the quality of life of the
elderly, as well as favoring access and management of multidisciplinary health care, with the
possibility of cost reduction.
