Résumé
Frailty is a vulnerable condition exposing older adults to incidental adverse health events that negatively impact their quality of life and increase health and social costs. Digital solutions may play a key role in addressing this global problem and in particular, smart living environments. Smart living environments involve a notion of measurement or collection of data via several sensors, capturing the person's behaviours in the home or the person's health status over a long period of time. It thus has great potential for home support for older adults. The objective of this umbrella review will be: (1) to document the effectiveness of smart living environments to support ageing in place for frail older adults and (2) among the reviews assessing the effectiveness of smart living environment, to gather evidence on what factors and strategies were identified as influencing the implementation process.
