Between Digital Dentistry and Geriatric Care in Sub-Saharan Africa: Information Giving and Use Perspective
Abstract
This chapter explores digital dentistry and geriatric care in sub-Saharan Africa from information giving and use perspective. There is a growing concern about the increased population turning into elderly groups. Most of the healthcare systems neglect them or where they provide such services; they do so in fragmented ways. Interestingly, the rest of the globe, particularly developed countries, have gone far in incorporating innovative technologies that allow healthcare delivery electronically. Most data lacks sufficient reviews to supplement evidence-based practice on what information giving and getting is and where they differ as such affecting health information behavior of elderly people. The approach used in developed countries to impart knowledge on elderly people directly may not work on the African continent. Such approaches are mostly used to enhance the cognitive abilities of elderly people. In Africa, such initiations should be directed at social institutions, family members, etc. for elderly people to use technology appropriately.
