Changes and expectations of the digitally underprivileged in artificial intelligence: a systematic review focusing on skin health for the welfare of the elderly

Background: Worldwide, various studies are being conducted on the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) and ChatGPT. This is evidence that natural language computer applications are becoming increasingly sophisticated. As the 4th Industrial Revolution rapidly increased, difficulties continued for the digitally disadvantaged. As the scope of application of AI expands, we examined the possibility of utilizing the presence of Senior Connection, a digitally underprivileged group. Here, we sought to investigate the possibility of using AI for the welfare of the elderly among the digitally underprivileged. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted of PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, ResearchGate, and Google Scholar databases. According to PRISMA flow chart guidelines and using a chain of search words such as “AI”, “ChatGPT”, “digitally underprivileged”, “Senior welfare”, “Senior beauty”, “customized cosmetics”, “mobile apps”, “skin health”. Accordingly, we searched a total of 1,234 articles and selected 70 articles in the final stage. We searched for studies and reported quantitative and qualitative data. Two independent reviewers performed data extraction and study quality assessment. Results: In this study, through a comprehensive and systematic review, we concluded that AI can be used to enable healthy, sustainable, and beautiful lives for digitally marginalized groups. AI still has many negative safety-related findings. Nevertheless, for the sustainable safety of the digitally underprivileged and the welfare of the elderly, consumers will strive to solve various health problems for healthy skin and hair, confirming the strong need for the convenience of AI. Conclusions: However, challenges associated with utilizing AI remain, including lack of curated medical data and concerns about data security. Therefore, additional research should continue to be conducted on the development for skin health for the digitally vulnerable and elderly people’s welfare utilization.
