Resumen

La población mayor de 65 años aumentará considerablemente en 2050, y la tecnología puede respaldar su independencia, prevenir el deterioro funcional o cognitivo, limitar las enfermedades crónicas y promover un envejecimiento activo. Sin embargo, las personas mayores necesitan competencias digitales para utilizar la tecnología de manera efectiva. Este documento tiene como objetivo analizar los beneficios, oportunidades y limitaciones del uso de la tecnología, cómo afecta a las competencias digitales, qué tipo de tecnologías son las más utilizadas por las personas mayores y cómo podemos ayudarlas a adquirir competencias digitales. El método es una revisión sistemática de la literatura. La literatura se buscó en las bases de datos Scopus y Web of Science publicadas entre 2013 y 2023 utilizando el método PRISMA. De los 979 artículos encontrados, 15 eran elegibles para el análisis, pero excluimos tres revisiones sistemáticas relacionadas. Los artículos revisados mostraron que algunas limitaciones cognitivas, físicas y motoras en los adultos mayores dificultan el uso de la tecnología, y algunos ancianos necesitan apoyo de familiares o amigos. Pero, si la tecnología se adapta a sus necesidades, las personas mayores pueden volverse digitalmente competentes. Los resultados destacan el impacto positivo de las redes sociales en la salud de la población senior al reducir la soledad y el aislamiento y adquirir competencias digitales.
