Tech-based solutions for health challenges in aging: 25 years of development trends and prospects
ABSTRACT
Background:
As the global population ages, technology emerges as a pivotal tool in addressing the health challenges of older adults. From remote health monitoring systems to AI-driven healthcare delivery, innovations are reshaping aging health management. Especially post-COVID-19, telemedicine gains traction, offering remote care solutions and reducing infection risks. Over the past 25 years, technology in elderly health has seen significant growth.
Objective:
This article reviews its evolution, achievements, and challenges, providing insights for future development.
Methods:
We searched in Web of Science Core Collection, the search time is from 1 Jan 1999 to March 18, 2024. VOSviewer and CiteSpace were applied to visualize the bibliometric analysis.
Results:
A total of 1134 publications were found in WoSCC. The publication trend over these three decades showed a gradual but fluctuating increase. The United States was the most productive country, and participated in international collaboration most frequently. The predominant keywords identified through this analysis include "dementia", "telemedicine", "older-adults", "telehealth", "care".The Keywords with citation bursts from "telemedicine" to "digital health".
Conclusions:
From remote health monitoring systems to digital-driven healthcare delivery, innovations are reshaping aging health management. In future research, researchers aim to address the practical problems of older adults and fully leverage the potential of intelligent technologies to support diverse older adults.
