Population aging looms over countries all over the world. The social and economic implications of this phenomenon extend beyond the individual person and the immediate family, affecting broader society and the global community in profound ways. Aging populations increase pressure on already over-burdened public health care services and expenditures. To address this impending predicament, many health care providers and countries have turned to technological solutions. The near-ubiquity of mobile devices entails that mHealth will rapidly become a key component of technologically-enabled health care delivery services. This poster presents research and engineering challenges for a sustainable ICT solution that supports information exchange for mobile geriatric care.
人口老龄化正笼罩着世界各国。这一现象的社会和经济影响不仅限于个人和直系家庭,还以深远的方式影响着更广泛的社会和全球社区。老龄化人口给本就不堪重负的公共医疗服务和支出带来了更大压力。为应对这一迫在眉睫的困境,许多医疗服务提供者和国家已转向技术解决方案。移动设备几乎无处不在,这意味着移动健康(mHealth)将迅速成为技术支持的医疗服务的关键组成部分。本海报展示了一种可持续的信息通信技术(ICT)解决方案在支持移动老年护理信息交换方面的研究和工程挑战。
