Background: Leveraging digital technology to promote social connectedness has the potential to affect positive health outcomes. The introduction of digital technologies were accelerated into care homes as a result of global restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic, despite reported systemic and structural barriers. Technology-Supported Interventions can improve Old-Age Social Wellbeing among older adults living in social isolation, however the evidence base within care home environment is not clear. Aim: to identify how digital technologies are used in long-term care settings to facilitate meaningful connections Methods: a scoping review following guidance from the Joanna Briggs Institute was undertaken. Four online databases (CINAHL, Medline, PsycINFO, Scopus) were searched in February 2025 to identify digital technologies which have been used in care homes to support the development of meaningful connections. Grey literature was searched through Google Scholar, and forward and backward citation searching was also undertaken. Result: Forty-two studies were included in the review. Technologies including robotics, virtual reality, mobile/tablet applications, digital devices, and online programmes have been utilised in the care home. Mechanisms through which meaningful connections are made include increased opportunities to connect with family/friends, staff, and the wider community, getting to know the resident as a person, providing a sense of control and autonomy, and sparking joy. Conclusions: Digital technologies are becoming increasingly prevalent within the care home sector beyond passive monitoring through medical devices. Underpinning the application of digital technologies with a person-centred approach, primarily through getting to know the person as more than their condition, being sympathetically present, and connecting authentically, will enhance physical, psychological and social outcomes for residents, families, and staff in care homes.
