The adoption of information and communication technology (ICT) by older adults with cognitive frailty and impairment is beneficial to support aging in place and promote healthy aging. However, data are scarce regarding the use of ICT by this demographic in comparison with other age groups. This bibliometric analysis was aimed at systematically mapping the literature on ICT-related research on older adults with cognitive frailty and cognitive impairment to provide insights into research trends, patterns and knowledge gaps. Data were extracted from the Web of Science database, which identified 324 publications between 1980 and 2023. Performance analysis and science mapping were carried out using Microsoft® Excel, VOSViewer and Harzing's Publish or Perish. The analysis showed an upsurge in the research output trend over time. Notable journals, authors, citations, nations and research areas have been documented. Four key clusters were identified, including: (i) caregiver concern, support and involvement; (ii) technology as a tool for cognitive training and cognitive rehabilitation; (iii) cognitive improvement; and (iv) the use of technology for prevention and self-management. The findings derived from this analysis provide an appropriate reference for future researchers to bridge the gap in ICT-related studies among this population, and distinguish the relevant articles that are required for further investigation. These include the need for further long-term research, the incorporation of ICT-based approaches to counter cognitive frailty and the importance of multidomain telehealth interventions.

绘制景观图：对认知衰弱或障碍的老年人采用信息和通信技术的文献计量分析

认知衰弱和障碍的老年人采用信息和通信技术（ICT）有利于支持就地老龄化和促进健康老龄化。然而，与其他年龄组相比，该人群使用信息通信技术的数据很少。本文献计量分析旨在系统地绘制关于认知脆弱和认知障碍老年人的 ICT 相关研究文献，以深入了解研究趋势、模式和知识差距。数据从 Web of Science 数据库中提取，该数据库确定了 1980 年至 2023 年间的 324 篇出版物。使用 Microsoft® Excel、VOSViewer 和 Harzing 的 Publish or Perish 进行性能分析和科学绘图。分析显示，随着时间的推移，研究产出趋势呈上升趋势。著名期刊、作者、引文、国家和研究领域均已记录。确定了四个关键组，包括： (i) 护理人员的关注、支持和参与；(ii) 技术作为认知训练和认知康复的工具；(iii) 认知改善；(iv) 使用技术进行预防和自我管理。该分析的结果为未来的研究人员提供了适当的参考，以弥合这一人群中ICT相关研究的差距，并区分进一步调查所需的相关文章。其中包括需要进一步的长期研究、采用基于信息通信技术的方法来应对认知脆弱性以及多领域远程医疗干预的重要性。老年老年国际 2024；24：251-262。
