The aging process is a complex social challenge as it brings forth a wide range
of challenges, including health, well-being concerns and social isolation. With
increasing longevity, the search for new solutions and strategies to ensure quality
of life during aging has become ever more urgent. Intelligent communities, which
leverage advanced technologies to enhance community services by integrating
connectivity, sustainability, and social participation, can foster environments
conducive to promoting longevity with quality of life. This study, encompassing a
literature review, semi-structured interviews, and backcasting workshops, explores
possible future scenarios involving trends and technologies that promote well-being
during the aging process. Through the analysis of existing studies and projects, we
explore how innovative approaches are positively impacting the quality of life of
the elderly population. Additionally, we address the significance of healthy and
active social relationships in enhancing the quality of life for this segment of
society, while identifying potential access barriers and challenges associated with
digital exclusion. In the interviews, we sought to understand how habits, behaviors,
and preferences regarding digital technologies influence social interactions. The
participants reactions to the proposed scenarios were also analyzed, enabling the
identification of desirable futures, concerns, and expectations. By adopting
backcasting, this research not only envisions desirable futures but also identifies
viable pathways to achieve them. Based on the workshops conducted, we mapped
products and services, public policies and governance frameworks that helped us
understand the impacts of these digital technologies and how they can be regulated
and adapted to promote greater autonomy, inclusion, and quality of life for older
adults, ensuring that the proposed solutions align with the real needs and
expectations of the population
