  • mobile and wearable technologies in healthcare for the Ageing Population
    Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine, 2018
    Co-Authors: Shwetambara Malwade, Shabbir Syed Abdul, Mohy Uddin, Aldilas Achmad Nursetyo, Luis Fernandezluque, Xinxin Katie Zhu, Liezel Cilliers, Chunpor Wong, Panagiotis D Bamidis
    Abstract:

    The 16th World Congress on Medical and Health Informatics (MedInfo 2017) was held August 21-25, 2017, in Hangzhou, China. It provided a valuable platform for sharing the latest medical and health informatics research and related applications to the scientists, medical practitioners, entrepreneurs, and educators as well as students. During this event, on August 23, 2017, an important related topic was presented in a panel discussion entitled "Wearable technologies: Advancing the healthcare in Ageing Population" by panelists Shabbir Syed-Abdul, Panagiotis Bamidis, Chun-Por Wong, and Xinxin Zhu. Recent advances in health technologies, focusing on the aging Population, their benefits and challenges were discussed, and these topics are summarized in this paper. The need for technology to improve of the life of older Population, influential and beneficial technologies, for delivering these technologies to patients are described in this paper.

  • health care expenditures age proximity to death and morbidity implications for an Ageing Population
    Journal of Health Economics, 2018
    Co-Authors: Daniel Howdon, Nigel Rice
    Abstract:

    This paper uses Hospital Episode Statistics, English administrative data, to investigate the growth in admitted patient health care expenditures and the implications of an Ageing Population. We use two samples of around 40,000 individuals who (a) used inpatient health care in the financial year 2005/06 and died by the end of 2011/12 and (b) died in 2011/12 and had some hospital utilisation since 2005/06. We use a panel structure to follow individuals over seven years of this administrative data, containing estimates of inpatient health care expenditures (HCE), information regarding individuals' age, time-to-death (TTD), morbidities at the time of an admission, as well as the hospital provider, year and season of admission. We show that HCE is principally determined by proximity to death rather than age, and that proximity to death is itself a proxy for morbidity.

  • Surgery for an Ageing Population
    The British journal of surgery, 2016
    Co-Authors: Kjetil Søreide, Bas P. L. Wijnhoven
    Abstract:

    The global Population is growing in numbers and the proportion of elderly people is increasing. By 2050 it is estimated that about 16 per cent of the world’s Population will be aged over 65 years, twice the current number and a fivefold increase since 1950. Projections from the World Health Organization, United Nations and the EU commission all point to Ageing as a major challenge for society1 with a directed response needed to meet the needs of the elderly2. The challenge is global. The greatest increase in the Ageing Population is expected in developing countries (Fig. 1). Although this poses a particular challenge where health coverage is generally poor, economic burdens for healthcare systems will inevitably rise in high-income settings as a result of the greater needs of the elderly, particularly when independent living is no longer possible (Fig. 2). Policies must be developed that provide the Ageing Population with sustainable healthcare that will address their needs. Surgery is an important element of such a plan. The challenge for the surgical community is to identify optimal care pathways that are cost-effective and that pay particular attention to quality of life. Most surgeons now acknowledge that surgery in the elderly is different, in terms of type of surgery, associated risks and meaningful outcomes3. Specific medicolegal issues arise in the area of informed consent, intensity and duration of treatment, and ethics in end-of-life care4.

  • Promoting ICT innovations for the Ageing Population in Japan.
    International journal of medical informatics, 2012
    Co-Authors: Toshio Obi, Diana Ishmatova, Naoko Iwasaki
    Abstract:

    Abstract Objective The paper aims to explore effective measures and strategies for the promotion of ICT-enabled innovations for the elderly and people with special needs. Methods The paper begins by reviewing current government initiatives in the field of e-health and accessibility that are addressing challenges faced by Japan's rapidly Ageing society. It then evaluates the results of Japanese government efforts in the promotion of ICT solutions for its older Population against the availability of special infrastructure, device interfaces, and services and applications that meet five essential needs of the elderly with regard to quality of life in highly developed countries. Results and conclusion The results of the study suggest that more efforts are needed to exploit ICT to transform all domains of society in order to meet the challenges produced by a rapidly Ageing Population. For that purpose the paper proposes 12 main areas in which to facilitate ICT innovations for an Ageing Population. It then outlines a number of strategic directions for the formulation of specific measures that will place Japan in the forefront of societal transformation.
