Perspectives of older adults on the ethics of active assisted living technologies: A Scoping review and conceptual framework.
Review in Digital health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Active Assisted Living (AAL) technologies have emerged as a multidisciplinary endeavor driven by the imperative to enhance the lives of older adults. However, users' perspectives on the ethics of AAL technology use are often secondary considerations. Objectives: The objective of this scoping review was to synthesize the literature on users' perspectives on the ethics of AAL technologies to bridge the gap in both academic and non-academic contexts. Methods: This scoping review was conducted comprehensively using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) in Covidence, focusing on peer-reviewed publications from 2000 to 2023. Our search strategies integrated concepts of AAL technologies, ethics, and user perspectives. Inclusion criteria encompassed qualitative and mixed methods that obtained users' perspectives on AAL technologies in smart home communities. A gray literature review was also conducted to retrieve documents for analysis that incorporated guidelines, standardization, and/ or recommendations. Results: Five relevant articles utilized qualitative methods ( Conclusions: Older adults are willing to include wearables and Internet of Things devices in their AAL technologies ecosystem, especially when they co-design the technology, but it is contingent on the implementation of ethical principles such as safety, security, and privacy to counter intrusive monitoring systems. This scoping review has the potential to offer valuable insights to various stakeholders, including tech developers and designers, providers, health policymakers, providers, and regulatory agencies.
