摘要：Smart home solutions based on the internet of things (IoT) can improve quality of life management. However, there is a dearth of comprehensive literature that can help researchers and practitioners better comprehend why older adults accept or reject smart home services. These users represent a significant hurdle in the successful implementation of smart home services. Therefore, this study’s primary objective was to provide a concise, systematic review of current issues in the pre-adoption of smart home services for the elderly. In addition, factors that impact the intention of the elderly on IoT-based smart home services (SHS-IoT) pre-adoption were also examined. A total of 705 initial papers on smart homes for the elderly were found across credible scientific databases. Out of these papers, 30 publications met this study’s inclusion criteria for the final review. The findings revealed that older adults’ attitudes towards smart homes are positive, particularly for safety/security monitoring and independent assisted living. Besides, the lack of well-defined information theories exists in the literature on the use of smart home services by the elderly. Additionally, several challenges currently faced hindering the pre-adoption of smart home services and how future research could better understand the perspective of older adults to choose a suitable benchmark are presented in this paper.
