ÖZET
 Gelişen dünyada, giderek yaşlanan toplumlar ile birlikte teknoloji de ilerleme göstermektedir. İlerleyen teknoloji doğrultusunda da yaşlanan bireyleri aktif yaşlanma hedeflerinde birleştiren kuruluşların, teknoloji ve aktif yaşlanma konusunu oldukça önemsediği görülmektedir. Buna göre yaşlı bireylerin ihtiyaçlarına uygun çözüm önerileri geliştirebilmek, toplumda negatif yaşlı ayrımcılığını önlemek, yaşlı bireylerin bakımı için eğitimli hizmet gücünün oluşturulmasını sağlamak, yaşlı popülasyona hitap edebilen yeni ekonomi, ürün ve pazar sisteminin kurulmasını sağlamak, çevre, politika ve programların yaşlı bireyleri fiziksel, sosyal, ruhsal, entelektüel, çevresel, duygusal ve mesleki yönden olumlu etkileyecek biçimde planlamak gerekmektedir. Bu nedenle günümüzde yaşlanan toplumlarda teknolojiden yararlanmak kaçınılmazdır. Çalışmamızda, önce aktif yaşlanmada teknoloji kullanım gerekliliği, sonra hâlihazırda bulunan teknolojiler ile sağlık personelinin bu konudaki sorumluluğuna dikkat çekmeyi planladık. Buna göre yaşlı için geliştirilen teknolojik ürünleri ve kullanım alanlarını inceledik. Bu ürünler arasında; akıllı giyilebilir sistemler, yardımcı teknolojik ürünler, robotlar, akıllı ev sistemleri, hastalık yönetici uygulamalar/web tabanlı uygulamalar, telesağlık uygulamaları, yaşam boyu öğrenme uygulamaları, sosyal iletişim ağları sayılabilir. Bahsedilen tüm bu amaçlara ulaşılmasında ise teknolojinin yakından takip edilmesi, yaşlı için fonksiyonel araçların tercihi, ekonomik sistemin parçası olan bakım ürünlerinin yaşlı tüketiciye uygun hâle getirilmesi, basın-yayın araçlarının yaşlı bireyleri ve toplumu olumlu yönde etkileyecek biçimde kullanımı gerekmektedir. Sağlık ekip üyelerinin aktif yaşlanma sürecinde, teknoloji kullanımında önemli sorumluluklar alması gerekmektedir.

ABSTRACT
 In a developing world, technology is also advancing with aging societies. In line with the advancing technology, it is observed that organizations that unite aging individuals in active aging targets attach great importance to technology and active aging. According to this, to develop solutions tailored to the needs of older individuals, to prevent negative elderly discrimination in society, to create an educated service force for the care of elderly individuals, to provide new economies, products and to establish the market system, the environment, policies and programs need to plan in a way that affects elderly individuals physically, socially, spiritually, intellectually, environmentally, emotionally and professionally. Therefore, it is inevitable to benefit from technology in today's aging societies. In this article, we first planned to draw attention to the necessity of using technology in active aging, then the existing technologies and the responsibility of health personnel. According to the literature; we examined technological products and their usage areas for the elderly. Technological innovations developed for the elderly such as; smart wearable systems, auxiliary technological products, robots, smart home systems, disease management applications/web based applications, telehealth applications, lifelong learning applications, social communication networks. In achieving all these objectives, following of technology closely, preference of functional tools for the elderly, making care products that are part of the economic system suitable for the elderly, elderly individuals of press-release tools and should be used in a way that affects the community in a positive way. In the active aging process, health team members should take important responsibilities in the use of technology.
