Older adults successfully use technology by employing strategies that involve selecting suitable devices, optimizing their use, and compensating for challenges. Simply having digital literacy is not enough; effective technology adoption also requires support for both intrinsic skills and external resources, highlighting the importance of designing user-friendly technologies and providing tailored assistance. This approach can enhance older adults’ independence, social connection, and ability to manage health, making technology a practical tool for preventive health and well-being in aging populations.
