TL;DR: The purpose was to map the field of digital technologies for informal and formal care that have been explored in terms of acceptance, effectiveness and efficiency (AEE), and to show the scope of the used methods, target settings, target groups and fields of support.

TL;DR: There is a need for development and implementation of economically driven studies, with methods adjusted to particular character of HP and/or PP strategies for older population, which confirm the cost-effectiveness of diverse physical activity interventions in fall prevention.

TL;DR: A comparison of the effects of different health promotion initiatives between different age groups by means of economic evaluation is not recommendable, and the limitations of the widely used QALY for older people are discussed and recently developed alternatives are presented.

TL;DR: The results show that there are many studies that demonstrate positive effects, but the level of evidence is mostly low and study sizes are often small, and care institutions are reluctant to put innovative technologies into practice.

TL;DR: An outcome framework is developed for DNT to indicate which outcome areas have been most frequently evaluated in previous studies and how this has been done and to recommend the development of outcome areas for the macro level of effectiveness assessment.
