Abstract
The elderly population faces higher prevalence of chronic diseases that require long-term, complicated treatment regimens. Patient non-compliance in the aging population poses a significant challenge for the healthcare industry as it can exacerbate the burden of disease, increase healthcare costs, impair quality of life, and erode patient-provider trust. Addressing noncompliance requires a multifaceted approach that considers the challenges and needs of elderly patients. Digital advancements like telemedicine, wearable devices, and home monitoring hold immense potential in transitioning from conventional medical practices to remote healthcare by maintaining health, well-being, autonomy, and providing dignified care. But major elderly patients are devoid of these benefits due to non-adoption and non-availability of the solutions like lack of awareness, trust, confidence, clarity can be addressed through life-long capacity building and empowerment for a sustainable and effective adoption.
