摘要

The growing global population aged 65 and older necessitates innovative solutions for managing age-related and long-term illnesses (e.g., Parkinson's, COPD). AgeTech offers significant potential to support independence and self-management for older adults. Key technologies, exemplified by the persona of Khalid, include telemedicine, wearables, smart home devices, robotics, and AI (like facial recognition for pain assessment). These solutions enhance physical function, mobility, medication adherence, and symptom control (e.g., VR for pain). Future care models must leverage these digital tools to address the complex, evolving needs of a rapidly aging demographic.
