作者：

Highlights：

• There is a lack of evidence for effects of AAL technologies in real-world settings.

• Null findings from an RCT evaluating an AAL technology motivate a critical reflection.

• How older adults engage with technology and its context can be highly diverse.

• Sample diversity and other factors are methodological challenges for AAL research.
