Cilj rada je pregled dosadašnjih teorijskih promišljanja i istraživanja provedenih o konceptu pametnog starenja. Objašnjava se model ESHTAM koji proučava spremnost na korištenje tehnologije u starijoj dobi te navode načini prihvaćanja koncepta pametnog starenja uz korištenje tehnologije, ali i bez nje. Razmatra se poboljšanje kvalitete života u starijoj dobi kroz kognitivnu stimulaciju, fizičku aktivnost i uravnoteženu prehranu te kako je moguće iskoristiti pomoć moderne tehnologije pri povećanju kognitivne funkcionalnosti, fizičkog napretka i socijalne uključenosti starijih osoba. Analizira se provedba pametnog stanovanja te utjecaj koncepta pametnog starenja na zdravstveni sustav. Rad obuhvaća i raspravu o etičkim dilemama povezanim s korištenjem tehnologije s osobama starije životne dobi. The aim of this paper is to review the theoretical reflections and researches carried out on this concept in order to offer a review of the knowledge in the field of smart ageing. The ESHTAM model is explained, which examines the willingness to use technology in old age and identifies ways of accepting the concept of smart ageing with the use of technology, but also without its use. It is considered to improve the quality of life in older age through cognitive stimulation, physical activity, and balanced nutrition. Furthermore, how it is possible to use the help of modern technology to increase cognitive functionalities, physical progress, and social involvement of older adults. The implementation of smart housing and the impact of the smart ageing concept on the health system are analysed. The article also discusses the ethical dilemmas associated with the use of technology with older adults.
