Abstract
As I write this editorial, it is the beginning of 2023. I would like to wish you and your loved ones a happy and healthy new year. We hope that 2023 will be a better year. Year 2022 was difficult for those in the war zone and those who struggled with policies on the COVID-19 pandemic. While the pandemic is at the back of most people’s minds in many countries, as China abruptly abandoned its zero-COVID policy, hospitals in China became overcrowded very quickly, and the health-care system has faced a major stress test since December 2022. Sadly, among the most vulnerable populations, older adults were hit badly and could not get needed help in time, which led to many deaths. We need to take care of the elderly and work on robotics innovations to assist them.
