Introduction:
Digital technology can be effective in providing personalised healthcare in contexts of ageing societies and increasing international migration trends. However, the literature is scarce and unsystematic, considering healthy ageing in migrant populations. This knowledge gap delays the development of interventions, policies and technology that are inclusive of the healthcare needs and limitations in older migrants. We aim to map the scientific literature addressing structural, psychological, technical and ethical determinants to adoption, use and effectiveness of digital technology for healthy ageing in migrants. We aim to uncover major challenges, highlight solutions and derive an agenda for future research.
Methods And Analysis:
We plan a scoping review of peer-reviewed articles published in English, German and Spanish after 2010 without a geographical limitation. We will perform the review across specialised and interdisciplinary databases (EBSCO, IEEE Xplore, IET Digital Library, PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science) and manage articles at Covidence.org. Our review will adhere to the Cochrane and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-Scoping Review guidelines for conducting and reporting reviews.
Ethics And Dissemination:
No primary data will be collected, and therefore, ethical approval is not required.The results of this scoping review will be published in a peer-reviewed outlet and presented at conferences. A shiny web application will accompany the publication.
