Technology to Support Care at the End-of-Life
摘要
Technology is increasingly vital for person-centered care at the end-of-life. Digital tools support the documentation of care preferences (Advance Care Planning) and facilitate pain management (e.g., continuous subcutaenous infusion pumps). Crucially, AgeTech addresses psychosocial and bereavement needs. As demonstrated by June’s story, digital legacy management—using social media, cloud storage, and online tools (MyWishes), allows the dying to curate memories and secure digital assets for family comfort. Furthermore, Generative AI and interactive digital clones offer new, yet ethically complex, modalities for remembrance and bereavement support for the bereaved.
