Resumo:
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
