The phenomenon of population aging is increasingly evident and stems from both the increase in life expectancy due to improved health conditions and the reduction in the fertility rate, since the average number of children per woman is observed. The objective of this work was to analyze the scientific productions regarding the impact generated by mobile applications aimed at promoting the health and quality of life of the elderly, as well as their relationship with technologies. This is an integrative review, with the guiding question: "What is the impact that the use of mobile applications promotes in the health and quality of life of the elderly?" Data were collected from June to September 2022 in the following databases: Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS), Medline (Pubmed) and Google Scholar. After selecting the criteria, 10 studies were selected. The following study topics were identified: Pharmacology, Cardiology, Cognitive performance and physical performance, Speech therapy, Nutrition, Oncology and Osteoporosis. There was a greater participation of women in the samples of the studies examined. Even though they were designed for professionals, some applications had a direct impact on the quality of life of the elderly. Keywords: aged, mobile applications, quality of life
