Digital health can transform care for older populations, but many older adults face access gaps. Digital technologies support older people’s health through clinical applications, information integration, and case management applications and by enabling healthier lifestyles. Key digital health access barriers for older people reflect technology design, affordability, and ease of use. A senior-centric design approach can optimize digital technologies for older adult care. Assessing older adults’ preferences, capabilities, and challenges with digital health technology presents a first step for effective policy. To promote older people’s use of digital health, governments and partners can enlist families and caregivers as key allies. Countries can leverage new business models for digital health in older populations, including public-private partnerships, by offering financial incentives and an enabling ecosystem that can foster local start-ups and expand this promising market.
