Fostering awareness ofinnovative technologies in modern society for advancements in geriatric healthcare

The global phenomenon of population ageing is characterized by a rapid increase in the number of individuals aged over 60 worldwide. Projections suggest that by 2050, the global population of older people will exceed the combined number of children under 5 years old and adolescents, with developing countries hosting a significant majority of older individuals. In India, it is estimated that the older population will account for 6.57 % of the total population by 2020. To address the needs of the ageing population, it is imperative to provide them with access to cutting-edge technologies. Non-governmental organizations and private institutions are increasingly offering personalized assistance and guidance to older individuals through door-todoor services. In order to promote social inclusion and empowerment, targeted actions such as raising awareness within the broader community about the unique needs and challenges faced by the elderly, as well as establishing peer support groups, are essential.
