Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: As the global population continues to age, aging in place (AIP) has emerged as an essential strategy to help older adults live safely and independently within their communities. Although artificial intelligence (AI) holds promise for supporting AIP, particularly in clinical settings, limited research has focused on its application in nonclinical dimensions of AIP. This scoping review aims to explore the current landscape of AI in AIP research, focusing on its potential to address both the health and social aspects of aging outside of clinical settings.
