Abstract
Introduction: The social, economic and cultural environment is undergoing a transformation caused by computer technologies, becoming almost indispensable in our lives. However, the elderly can present problems of adaptation, triggering a lack of technological literacy that in the health field could have an impact on their quality of life. The objective is to observe how new technologies affect the elderly, and propose nursing interventions that favor their adaptation to this new era. Material and Methods: Articles published since 2009, from anywhere in the world, have been consulted free of charge, in Spanish and English. The databases consulted have been PubMed, Google Scholar, Mesh, ScienceDirect, Trip Database, IBECS and DeCS. Results: Currently, technologies are adapting and evolving differently around the world, assuming progress in all places. A positive effect has been observed regarding the relationship and communication between the elderly and their environment, being advisable to provide greater cognitive stimulation with respect to these. Discussion: Most of the evidence found points to the benefit that technology brings regarding the connection of the elderly with their social environment. In healthcare, telecare has proven to improve the quality of life of the elderly. Just as the electronic prescription helps with pharmacological adherence and provides comfort for chronic and / or multipathological patients, the telematic appointment reduces long waiting times. Conclusion: The technologies, associated with social isolation, telecare and electronic prescriptions, have a positive effect on the quality of life of the elderly population. Providing them with an exercise of their brain activity, greater selfesteem and comfort, solving their health problems from home without having to approach a health center.
