This accelerated growth brings with it major challenges in relation to the sustainability of the system. There are different aspects where these changes will have a special incidence: health systems and their monitoring; the development of a framework in which the elderly can develop their daily lives satisfactorily; and in the design of intelligent cities adapted to the future sociodemographic profile. The discussion of the challenges faced, together with the current technological evolution, can show possible ways of meeting the challenges. There are different aspects where these changes will have a special incidence: health systems and their monitoring; the development of a framework in which the elderly can develop their daily lives satisfactorily; and in the design of intelligent cities adapted to the future sociodemographic profile. This special issue discusses various ways in which sustainable technologies can be applied to improve the lives of the elderly. Six articles on the subject are featured in this volume. From a systematic review of the literature to the development of gamification and health improvement projects. The articles present suggestive proposals for the improvement of the lives of the elderly. The volume is a resource of interest for the scientific community, since it shows different research gaps in the current state of the art. But it is also a document that can help social policy makers and people working in this domain to planning successful projects. 606 $aHumanities$2bicssc 606 $aEducation$2bicssc 610 $ahealthy aging 610 $aremote physical activity 610 $atelerehabilitation 610 $apersonalized exergames 610 $anatural user interfaces 610 $avirtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) 610 $aexergames 610 $arehabilitation 610 $aimprove functional capacity 610 $aSARS-CoV-2 610 $apost-COVID syndrome 610 $aolder adults 610 $asustainability 610 $atechnology 610 $areadability 610 $aInternet of Things 610 $asustainable development goals 610 $asmart cities 610 $arobotics 610 $agerontology 610 $ahealth care 610 $aelderly 610 $acognitive impairment 610 $apsychosocial interventions 610 $asustainable technology 610 $asocially assistive robots 610 $ahome health systems 610 $asleep monitoring 610 $asustainable technologies 610 $atechnology acceptance 610 $aintergenerational game 610 $aintergenerational communication 610 $aVR game 610 $acultural heritage 610 $aolder adult digital gap 615 7$aHumanities 615 7$aEducation 700 $aIglesias$b Ana$4edt$01318498 702 $aMorato$b Jorge$4edt 702 $aSanchez-Cuadrado$b Sonia$4edt 702 $aFernández-Panadero$b Carmen$4edt 702 $aIglesias$b Ana$4oth 702 $aMorato$b Jorge$4oth 702 $aSanchez-Cuadrado$b Sonia$4oth 702 $aFernández-Panadero$b Carmen$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910580209603321 996 $aSustainable Technology and Elderly Life$93033332 997 $aUNINA
