We concluded that the academic literature indicates that the use of ICT can help the elderly improve their quality of life, decrease solitude, increase access to information and the frequency of the communication with family. This makes us reflect on the need for the development of an interdisciplinary approach to technological research and for the development of services and applications in the field of health and well-being, as well as the socialization of the elderly.Keywords: information and communication technologies (ICT), aging, academic studies.

Para esse levantamento, foram selecionados 50 estudos a partir de publicações internacionais de referência que tivessem como tema a gerontecnologia, tendo como ênfase o Brasil e Portugal. Concluímos que a literatura acadêmica aponta que o uso das TIC podem ajudar os idosos a melhorar a sua qualidade de vida, a diminuir a solidão e a aumentar o acesso à informação, assim como a frequência da comunicação com familiares. Isso faz-nos refletir sobre a necessidade de desenvolvimento de uma abordagem interdisciplinar para a pesquisa tecnológica e para o desenvolvimento de serviços e aplicações no domínio da saúde e bem-estar, bem como da socialização do idoso.Palavras-chave: tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TIC), envelhecimento, estudos acadêmicos.Verso e Reverso2016-06-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/versoereverso/article/view/ver.2016.31.76.0210.4013/ver.2016.31.76.02Verso e Reverso; v. 31 n. 76: janeiro/abril - 2017/1; 14-251806-6925reponame:Verso e Reverso (Online)instname:Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)instacron:UNISINOSporhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/versoereverso/article/view/ver.2016.31.76.02/5836Azevedo, Celianainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2017-08-30T18:35:36Zoai:ojs2.revistas.unisinos.br:article/11048Revistahttp://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/versoereversoPRIhttp://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/versoereverso/oaiperiodicos@unisinos.br||bmarocco@unisinos.br1806-69250103-1414opendoar:2017-08-30T18:35:36Verso e Reverso (Online) - Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)false
