系统梳理老年数字健康软件需求工程现状,揭示研究方法差异与改进方向。

Requirements Engineering for Older Adult Digital Health Software: A Systematic Literature Review

  • 基于系统文献综述法,整合69项高相关研究。
  • 发现需求获取质量参差,方法应用不统一导致结果差异大。
  • 为开发者与老年人之间需求理解鸿沟提供研究路径参考。

老龄化人口增长推动了对技术辅助照护的关注。然而,该领域面临照护人员短缺、对老年人情感、社交、身体及心理健康需求理解不足等挑战,且开发者与老年人间存在需求认知差距。数字健康技术在支持老年人福祉、情感需求和社交方面具有重要意义。需求工程(RE)作为软件工程核心领域,有助于识别、挖掘并优先排序利益相关者需求,确保系统具备性能、可靠性与可用性。本研究采用系统文献综述方法,依据Kitchenham指南、PRISMA和PICO标准,制定研究协议,并系统检索八个数据库,最终筛选出69项高相关性原始研究,进行数据提取、综合与报告。研究揭示了老年数字健康软件中关键的RE流程,探讨了技术在提升老年人福祉与照护中的应用及其评估。同时,指出现有研究在方法应用上的主要局限,为未来研究提供方向。结果显示,不同研究在需求获取的质量、深度及技术手段上存在显著差异,这主要源于对需求工程方法的采纳不均。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Growth of the older adult population has led to an increasing interest in technology-supported aged care. However, the area has some challenges such as a lack of caregivers and limitations in understanding the emotional, social, physical, and mental well-being needs of seniors. Furthermore, there is a gap in the understanding between developers and ageing people of their requirements. Digital health can be important in supporting older adults wellbeing, emotional requirements, and social needs. Requirements Engineering (RE) is a major software engineering field, which can help to identify, elicit and prioritize the requirements of stakeholders and ensure that the systems meet standards for performance, reliability, and usability. We carried out a systematic review of the literature on RE for older adult digital health software. This was necessary to show the representatives of the current stage of understanding the needs of older adults in aged care digital health. Using established guidelines outlined by the Kitchenham method, the PRISMA and the PICO guideline, we developed a protocol, followed by the systematic exploration of eight databases. This resulted in 69 primary studies of high relevance, which were subsequently subjected to data extraction, synthesis, and reporting. We highlight key RE processes in digital health software for ageing people. It explored the utilization of technology for older user well-being and care, and the evaluations of such solutions. The review also identified key limitations found in existing primary studies that inspire future research opportunities. The results indicate that requirement gathering and understanding have a significant variation between different studies. The differences are in the quality, depth, and techniques adopted for requirement gathering and these differences are largely due to uneven adoption of RE methods.
