BackgroundOngoing advancements in digital solutions support older adults’ healthy aging and well-being. However, a unified synthesis of sociodemographic, cognitive, attitudinal, emotional, and environmental factors that influence older adults’ intention to use these new digital technologies is still lacking. Understanding the salient factors that influence older adults’ intention to use digital technologies will help to ensure that technology is developed appropriately and contextually. This understanding is also likely to contribute to developing technology acceptance models specifically for the aging generation, by reorganizing principles and constructing objectivity criteria for future research studies.ObjectiveThis review aims to identify the key factors associated with older adults’ intention to use digital technologies and to provide a comprehensive conceptual framework to describe the relationships between these key factors and older adults’ intention to use digital technologies.MethodsA mapping review was conducted using 9 databases from inception to November 2022. Articles were selected for review if they had an evaluative component of older adults’ intention to use digital technologies. Three researchers independently reviewed the articles and extracted the data. Data synthesis was performed via narrative review and quality appraisal was measured using 3 different tools based on each article’s study design.ResultsWe identified a total of 59 articles investigating older adults’ intention to use digital technologies. The majority (40/59, 68%) of articles did not use an existing framework or model for technology acceptance. Studies mostly adopted a quantitative research design (27/59, 46%). We found 119 unique factors reported to influence older adults’ intention to use digital technologies. These were categorized into 6 distinct themes: Demographics and Health Status, Emotional Awareness and Needs, Knowledge and Perception, Motivation, Social Influencers, and Technology Functional Features.ConclusionsGiven the importance of global demographic change toward an aging society, there is surprisingly limited research on the factors that influence older adults’ intention to use digital technologies. Our identification of the key factors across different types of digital technology and models supports the future integration of a comprehensive perspective encompassing environmental, psychological, and social determinants for older adults’ intention to use digital technologies.
