: The exponential evolution of technology and the growth of the elderly population are two
phenomena that will inevitably interact with increasing frequency in the future. This paper analyses
scientific literature as a means of furthering progress in sustainable technology for senior living.
We carried out a bibliometric analysis of papers published in this area and compiled by the Web of
Science (WOS) and Scopus, examining the main participants and advances in the field from 2000 to
the first quarter of 2021. The study describes some interesting research projects addressing three
different aspects of older adults’ daily lives—health, daily activities and wellbeing—and policies
to promote healthy aging and improve the sustainability of the healthcare system. It also looks at
lines of research into transversal characteristics of technology. Our analysis showed that publications
mentioning sustainability technologies for older adults have been growing progressively since the
2000s, but that the big increase in the number of research works in this area took place during the
period 2016–2021. These more recent works show a tendency to study those factors that improve
healthy aging, ensure the social inclusion of the elderly through technology and prolong the time in
which they can live independent lives thanks to smart environments. Current research gaps in the
literature are also discussed.: This work was funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness, (CSO2017-86747-R) and supported in part by the FEDER/Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación
