Abstract:
The aging population presents pressing societal challenges, emphasizing the importance of aging in the right place to support older individuals' quality of life. Technology can play a crucial role in facilitating aging in place by enabling multiple factors such as remote healthcare monitoring, social connectivity and access to essential services. However, several challenges must be addressed to ensure widespread adoption and effective usage of technology among older adults. From integrating digital literacy into the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (United Nations n.d.) to promoting co-creation and fostering intergenerational dialogue, multiple solutions can be envisioned. This commentary emphasizes these opportunities, discusses these issues and provides a set of recommendations.
