AgeTech offers significant potential to support the growing palliative care needs of older adults, driven by global population aging. Digital health technologies—including AI, mobile devices, telehealth, and alternate realities—can enhance care delivery, improve accessibility, and support patients' evolving needs (e.g., communication, physical health, and digital legacy). However, adoption is limited by challenges such as cost, interoperability, data security, and ethical concerns like the risk of bias and social exclusion. Future policy and practice must prioritize safe, accountable, and person-centered AgeTech integration to ensure its benefits are realized across all aspects of palliative care.

摘要

AgeTech offers significant potential to support the growing palliative care needs of older adults, driven by global population aging. Digital health technologies—including AI, mobile devices, telehealth, and alternate realities—can enhance care delivery, improve accessibility, and support patients' evolving needs (e.g., communication, physical health, and digital legacy). However, adoption is limited by challenges such as cost, interoperability, data security, and ethical concerns like the risk of bias and social exclusion. Future policy and practice must prioritize safe, accountable, and person-centered AgeTech integration to ensure its benefits are realized across all aspects of palliative care.
