The use of technology in managing the nutrition of older adults.
By Tarun Sai LomteOct 19 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in Nutrients, researchers reviewed existing evidence on the use of technology in managing the nutrition of older adults.
An optimal diet can enhance lifespan and independence and reduce healthcare costs. Health status may vary among older people; technology could help manage this variability and the nutrition care process. Government-funded meal and health support programs are intended to address the nutritional status of older people.
Titles/abstracts were screened, and full texts of relevant studies were reviewed. Relevant data were extracted from the included studies. These included commentaries, quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method studies, reviews, randomized controlled trials, future research, and interventions. Software applications were accessed using tablet computers in 21 studies and smartphones or mobile devices in seven. One study assessed how assistive technologies could overcome sarcopenia in aging.
