摘要: Aflthough the rapid increase in population aging observed across globe poses significant challenges to sustainability of health systems it has been paralleled by an exponential growth technologies. This article reviews literature surrounding technologies and explores how future care could be shaped technologies, with a particular focus on Asia Pacific region. It shows that field is wide scope. The current expansion information communication have brought growing capacity support care, while technology applications, such as robotics 3D printing, offer range potential benefits elderly populations. However, uptake level development varies widely throughout Governments begun developing frameworks guide implementation monitoring dearth robust, evaluative studies, combined rapidly evolving nature present policy makers challenges, including issues infrastructure, funding, acceptability among older users. As play increasingly pivotal part systems, there need create robust mechanisms for ongoing assessment development.
