A social media graphic with the title "Physical Activity & Aging: A Safe Foundation." Subtext reads: "As we age, movement is key to independence, but risk awareness changes the game. Build strength, balance, and confidence from the ground up." The graphic features a soft-focus, blurred image of an older senior couple—a man and a woman—smiling and holding hands as they walk down a path in a beautiful, light-filled park. At the bottom, the Amada Senior Care Tracy logo is displayed.

A social media graphic titled "4 Pillars of Intelligent Activity:" with a corresponding numbered list below. The list items are: 1. Core & Balance Training, 2. Leg Strength Building, 3. Proper Gear & Footwear, and 4. Medically Informed Decisions. The background is a soft-focus, blurred photo of a person receiving physical therapy support, with therapist hands supporting an elder’s leg. A box marked "Call to Action" at the bottom reads: "Learn how informed caregiver support can help you stay active & independent." The Amada Senior Care Tracy logo is at the bottom right.

Movement is the key to aging well, but the rules change as we get older. Our new blog explores how to adopt "age-aware respect" for our physical activities—focusing on safe foundations, rather than just effort. 🎿

AI-Enabled Smart Glasses for Active Aging: Scoping Review Background: The daily use of digital technologies is transforming the day-to-day lives of older adults. Among these technologies, artificial intelligence–enabled smart glasses have recently emerged, which allow constant interaction with the device itself and with the environment. They are designed to be used for multitasking, including options such as being able to take photographs and/or videos; record immersive audio; make calls; and share multimedia content through voice commands, touch, or blink detection. Objective: The aim of this study was to map the existing evidence and gain insight into the effectiveness and potential benefits of artificial intelligence–enabled smart glasses in promoting active living in old age. Methods: A scoping review was performed following the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) statement by consulting the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases using a search strategy and syntax (“smart glasses” AND (“older adult” OR elderly OR aging) AND health). The review process was conducted through the Covidence online platform, and the final review protocol was prospectively registered in the Open Science Framework. Both the research question and eligibility criteria were based on the population, concept, and context framework for scoping reviews. Results: From a total of 58 papers identified, 6 (10.3%) studies were finally included (2 pilot studies, 2 technological development studies with experimental validation of a prototype, 1 mixed methods feasibility trial, and 1 survey) published between 2015 and 2023 after eliminating duplications and screening titles, abstracts, and keywords. The results suggest that the use of artificial intelligence–enabled smart glasses may contribute to improving the quality of life, independence, autonomy, motor functions, and social interactions of older adults. Conclusions: Because of the novelty of this type of digital technology, there is very little research on this topic at present. Moreover, the adoption and implementation of artificial intelligence–enabled smart glasses are conditioned by hindering factors such as data protection, the high price, and the lack of compatibility with conventional prescription glasses, as well as the lack of evaluation of their effectiveness, usability, and acceptance.
