Description
Walter Boot frames a symposium on telehealth for older adults, weighing its reach against its frictions. The overview appeared in 2023. Remote care can help elders age in place and manage health from home. Yet many face thin tech skills, physical or cognitive limits, and no one to call when the app fails. The session gathers five studies: veterans' troubles with pharmacist video visits, who ends up with in-person, remote, or hybrid care, and a short course teaching telehealth basics.
Two more present a tool that flags elder mistreatment and a study of what personal and home factors govern video visit success. Boot argues the technology will only pay off if it is designed and tested around older users' real capacities.
