Abstract
The current epidemiology of the global population highlights an increasing number of aged individuals living with decreasing autonomy. Modern societies face the significant challenge of caring for persons with various disabilities, whether in institutions or at home. Health systems are ill-prepared in terms of staffing, economics, and public policies to manage the growing population of elderly individuals. This article discusses how technology can alleviate isolated lives, reduce hazards, and enhance human relationships, particularly the physician-patient relationship. Our interdisciplinary group focuses on developing innovative technologies to be implemented in the coming decades to improve the living conditions of elderly populations.
