The purpose of the study was to develop welfare technology classification frame according to welfare needs, function, and ICT technology and to explore current trends in Korean welfare technology application for older adults and people with disabilities. A systematic literature review and descriptive statistics were used for data analyses. Korean welfare technology services were categorized by a new welfare technology classification frame with five components for welfare needs and function and eight ICT technologies. Self-reliance and self-help emerged as the most frequent welfare needs and function. The use of ICT devices was frequently applied to welfare technology services. Our findings suggest that it is important to use a new welfare technology classification frame and to apply it to welfare technology in Korea. Further research is necessary to seek for future directions in Korean welfare technology.
