AI-Enabled Smart Glasses for Active Aging: Scoping Review.
Review in JMIR aging, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
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.
