Abstract

At present elderly people seem to be one of the rapidly growing population groups in the developed countries. This trend of aging population causes additional problems such as increased costs on the treatment and care about this elderly people. Therefore there is ongoing effort to extend the active age of this group of people in order to enable them to stay economically and socially independent. And current technological devices and services can assist them in this process. The purpose of this article is to discuss an attitude of elderly people towards mobile technological devices and benefits and limitations of mobile applications for this group of people. The author used a method of literature review of available sources exploring research studies focused on mobile devices and applications for elderly people in the acknowledged databases and a method of comparison and evaluation of their findings.
