Abstract

The rapid growth of the aging population presents significant challenges to the healthcare sector, necessitating the development of innovative geriatric care models. This paper explores recent advancements in geriatric care aimed at addressing the specific needs of the elderly. It discusses the integration of technology in geriatric care, emphasizing telemedicine, wearable devices, and smart home systems. Additionally, the paper examines the implementation of multidisciplinary teams, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care. Furthermore, the paper evaluates the effectiveness of community-based care models, which promote independence and social integration among the elderly. It concludes by highlighting the need for continuous research and policy development to support the evolving needs of an aging population.
