Ageing Well: using technology to support people as they age
Global health systems continue to grapple with the demands of a rapidly ageing population and the rise in long-term conditions.
Hospital A&E admissions continue to rise, bed occupancy levels are running hot, timely access to primary care is still a challenge and the squeeze on social care budgets, is making it increasingly more difficult to place elderly people into the most appropriate care setting.
