THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN IMPROVING QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE

The aging population is growing rapidly, and with it comes the need to address the challenges that older adults face. One of the ways to address these challenges is through the use of technology. This paper explores the role of technology in improving the quality of life for elderly people. The paper begins by discussing the current challenges facing older adults, including social isolation, lack of access to healthcare, and difficulty with performing daily tasks. Then it explores the ways in which technology can be used to improve the quality of life for older adults. Telehealth, assistive technology, and social networking are three key areas where technology can be used to address the challenges faced by the aging population. Telehealth can enable older adults to receive timely and appropriate healthcare services remotely, while assistive technology can help to make daily tasks easier and more accessible. Social networking can provide a sense of community and support, as well as access to information and resources. Augmented reality can also provide an immersive experience that can help to reduce boredom and improve learning and memory. Overall, technology can be used in a variety of ways to improve the quality of life for older adults, and it is important to ensure that technology is designed with accessibility and usability in mind.
