Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Mental Health Technology
  • Digital Wellbeing

Background:

  • Growing need to promote mental health and independence in the aging population (65+).
  • Limited understanding of technology's role in enhancing mental wellbeing for older adults.
  • Commissioned by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to assess interventions for older people.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the effectiveness of technology-based interventions for mental health and wellbeing in individuals aged 65 and over.
  • To critically appraise the quality and validity of existing studies on this topic.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of 21 papers evaluating technological interventions.
  • Studies examined psychosocial effects of computer/internet use, communication technologies, and computer gaming.
  • Critical appraisal of study quality, focusing on internal and external validity.

Main Results:

  • The evidence base is inconsistent due to few randomized controlled trials and varied outcome measures.
  • Three high/moderate quality studies on computer/internet training reported significant positive psychosocial outcomes.
  • Observed benefits included increased life satisfaction, enhanced social support, and reduced depression levels.

Conclusions:

  • Technology-based interventions, particularly computer/internet training, can positively impact older adults' mental wellbeing.
  • Further methodologically rigorous research is needed to strengthen the evidence base.
  • Well-designed technological interventions can serve as best practice models in this evolving field.
