Enabling Health Care Technologies for Ageing

This special issue belongs to the section “Aging“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, we have seen an explosion of research and applications of new technologies used to assess, support, and improve the health and well-being of our ageing population in a wide variety of settings.

This Special Issue aims to amalgamate research that uses health care technologies to demonstrate their variety and their impact on the health of the aging population.

We will welcome scientific works that employ health care technologies in aging populations; literature reviews; measurements; and assessments of physical, cognitive, and psychological functioning in aging and its impact on activities of daily living and the wellbeing of the older population. This Special Issue welcomes research that has taken an interdisciplinary approach to explore the complex and dynamic relationship between technologies, gerontology, and health. We welcome the submission of research reports, scholarly reviews, and professional application articles.
