Considering the significant increase in the elderly population in the country and the prediction of the continuation of this trend, the necessity of empowering the elderly to use assistive technologies as much as possible is felt more than ever. Surveys show a high rate of non-use of assistive technologies among the elderly. Meanwhile, assistive technologies can significantly enhance the quality of life for the elderly, maintain their independence, and reduce care costs. Therefore, this policy brief aims to provide practical solutions for empowering the elderly to increase the use of assistive technologies. |
