APPLYING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE INNOVATION TO ELDERLY CARE

Abstract

This research aims to study the role of AI innovations in improving elderly care and to explore the perceptions and perspectives of stakeholders involved in the application of AI technologies in elder care. Utilizing qualitative research methods, the findings reveal that AI plays a significant role in enhancing elderly care through various applications such as health monitoring, medication management, and personalized advice. Wearable devices and smart home systems facilitate continuous care, enabling early detection of health issues. Additionally, AI promotes social interaction through chatbots and virtual companions, helping to reduce isolation and supporting telehealth services. The integration of AI with IoT devices enhances safety in living environments. Perspectives from stakeholders, including elderly individuals, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers, emphasize various benefits such as increased independence and improved care management, alongside concerns about technology adoption, ethical implications, and the need for regulatory frameworks and public awareness to ensure effective integration and support.
