AI in Geriatric Care: Supporting an Aging Population

Abstract

With the global population aging rapidly, AI is emerging as a critical tool in geriatric care. This paper investigates the role of AI in enhancing elder care through applications such as fall detection, cognitive decline monitoring, and personalized medication management. It highlights the use of machine learning models to predict age-related health risks and robotics for providing companionship and assistance. The paper also discusses ethical concerns, including autonomy, privacy, and the digital literacy gap among elderly populations.
