Abstract

Currently, the elderly have some disadvantages when using the Internet as a source of information. That is, older people had more trouble finding information on a website than younger people. However, very little research is focused on ensuring the accessibility and usability of web health information for older people. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the usability and accessibility aspects of websites that could be of interest to older computer users. Regarding the methodology used, a systematic review of scientific articles was carried out, consulting regional and high-impact databases. This systematic review focused on contextual aspects of digital games and how to improve the quality of life of the elderly
