Objectives - This study aimed to identify: (i) relevant smart city applications to promote active ageing; (ii) types of technologies being used; and (iii) maturity levels of the applications being reported. Methods - A systematic review was performed based on a search of the literature. Results - A total of 13 articles were retrieved. These studies report smart cities’ applications to promote active ageing, using different types of sensing devices. Conclusion - Most of the included articles are either of descriptive and conceptual nature or in an early stage of development, which means that there is still a lack of concreteness.
