Age-friendly AI: building bridges between technology and geriatric care

AI to Improve the Care of Older Adults," aims to advance the effort to plan for a coordinated future of data-driven decisions from a multidisciplinary perspective.In light of the rise in our aging populations, what has so far been found is that new technologies are most successfully adopted when they address not only a potential gap in service, but also the specific needs of the older adult patients and their caregivers, the physicians, nurses, and other health care staff who treat and support them. [1][2]2][3] We believe that AI can integrate information across traditionally separate domains (including health records, pharmacy data, social services, home health, and many others) and help clinicians and caregivers address the 4Ms of the Age-Friendly Health System: what Matters, Medications, Mentation, and Mobility. 2The following conversations and presentations discussed the need to prioritize what matters most to older adults and their families, emphasizing independence and quality of life over strict adherence to clinical guidelines.
