A utilização das tecnologias digitais tem um impacto significativo na vida das pessoas mais velhas, uma vez que permite a realização de várias atividades no dia a dia. O presente estudo teve como objetivo geral analisar os fatores que influenciam a utilização das tecnologias digitais pelas pessoas com 65+ anos residentes na Freguesia da Ajuda, nomeadamente os fatores facilitadores, benefícios e barreiras. Para responder ao objetivo, recorreu-se a uma abordagem quantitativa, através da aplicação de um inquérito por questionário a 100 pessoas, com idades entre os 65 e 92 anos, utilizadores de pelo menos uma tecnologia digital (smartphone, computador ou tablet). O estudo mostra que os fatores facilitadores do uso das tecnologias digitais pelos inquiridos são a facilidade na utilização, a utilidade no dia a dia e o apoio da família e amigos. Quanto aos benefícios, estes estão relacionados com o aumento ao acesso à informação, melhoria na qualidade de vida, promoção da autonomia e redução do isolamento. Foram identificadas como barreiras a privacidade, falta de confiança nas próprias habilidades, custos associados à utilização e dificuldade em memorizar as indicações para utilizar as tecnologias e a acessibilidade. De ressaltar, que o dispositivo mais utilizado pelos inquiridos é o smartphone.
