With the progressive increase in the number of older people in society, there is a growing need to facilitate their daily coping with the various barriers they encounter because of their high age. It has been seen that technology in such situations can be of great help and has started developing the concept of smart ageing. The concept of smart ageing refers to the revolutionary paradigm shift that revolves around the negative concepts which imply the reluctance to accept the later stages of life towards the positive acceptance of the aging process. The aim of this paper is to review the theoretical reflections and researches carried out on this concept in order to offer a review of the knowledge in the field of smart ageing. The ESHTAM model is explained, which examines the willingness to use technology in old age and identifies ways of accepting the concept of smart ageing using technology, but also without using it. It is considered to improve the quality of life in older age through cognitive stimulation, physical activity and balanced nutrition and also how it is possible to use the help of modern technology to increase cognitive functionalities, physical progress and social involvement of older people. The implementation of smart housing and the impact of the smart ageing concept on the health system are analysed, and, finally,the shortcomings of the concept are cited.
