Sumario:Objective: To identify gerontotechnologies developed to train older adults in first aid, with a focus on accident and emergency prevention. Method: Integrative literature review conducted between December 2024 and January 2025 in five databases. Eight studies published between 2019 and 2024 were included and analyzed for methodological characteristics, type of technology, validation, and contributions. Results: Booklets, games, educational videos, and three-dimensional models were identified, all of which aimed to prevent falls. There was a lack of technologies specifically designed for other first aid situations. Most studies were validated by experts and older adults, highlighting attributes such as content, language, and layout. A gap was identified in the application of pedagogical theories and prior investigation of thematic needs. Conclusion: The gerontotechnologies analyzed are relevant to health education for older adults, but it is necessary to expand the focus to other emergencies, incorporating learning theories and participatory validation.
