In the 21st century, many developed countries have become aging societies.
Although network speed, the improvement of smartphones, and 5G foster the growth of

This study analyses the design and implementation of mobile technologies to
investigate novel mobile applications that support older adults in aged homes, by
conducting a comprehensive discussion. As such, this study selects an expert narrative
overview of a literature search from Google Scholar and archives. Analysis results
reveal that designing new mobile apps, strengthening the interaction through VR
