“…If the objective of this model is to illustrate intelligence, and constructing such frameworks necessitates computer programming, a structured description of artificial intelligence would be stated as a domain of scientific knowledge involved with the computational understanding of what is frequently referred to as intelligent behavior [ 7 ], as well as the development of intelligent agents that display such behavior. Relatively simplified descriptions of artificial intelligence include devices that mimic human functionalities [ 8 ], the expansion of human intelligence via machines, and programming computers to perform tasks that humans now perform, though a truer definition would have been the science of creating smart machines [ 9 ].…”

Due to the rapid growth of the elderly around the world, the artificial intelligence control framework can collect information and apply it and perform other tasks. Artificial intelligence plays an important role in focusing on the elderly. For example, it can improve the relationship between the elderly and family members or nursing teams. In addition, AI chat robot can communicate with the elderly without obstacles and can remind the elderly when to take medicine, regular physical examination, etc. A significant number of the AI applications on cell phones accessible today could screen wellbeing information, like every day exercises, diet, and surprisingly the senior’s way of life, in a less nosy way. In such cases, it could help in expecting and, subsequently, forestalling any conceivable hypertension or unpredictable heart rate. Essentially, mechanical ‘pets’ are likewise assisting with fighting off feelings of loneliness, while additionally assisting with upgrading patient consideration simultaneously. One model is Tombot, a little dog like model, which was made to diminish misery and tension among dementia patients. Its head developments, looks, and swaying tail feel basically the same as the real thing, causing occupants to feel as though they have their very own pet to really focus on. One of the issues that growing societies are presently facing is the care of elderly individuals. The dearth of skilled workers in the senior healthcare setting has been exacerbated by the worldwide shift of aging populations. There might be an enhanced need for old nursing since the global older demographic is expected to nearly triple in the coming three decades. There are advancements in computer technologies for supporting the aged plus associated caregivers, checking their wellbeing, and offering company to them. Given the global elderly demographic development possibilities, it is no coincidence that the aided care market is drawing fast advancement, rendering health management for nurses a breeze. While the world’s governments manage the aging population next years, these ideas will become extremely vital. They will almost certainly encounter economic and political demands to modify state medical care management, retirement benefits, and social security in order to meet the needs of an aging population. Considering that the demand for physicians is growing, a necessity has developed to deliver individualized care for the aged as well as to respond appropriately in emergencies. As a result, in the technological society, healthcare is exploring artificial intelligence to deliver personalized treatment to individuals in need. The challenges of the aged are determined in this study, and answers are supplied via a tailored computer (robot). With the crucial details given via Internet of Things gadgets, emergency events may be foreseen relatively promptly, and appropriate actions can be proposed by AI technology. Individuals’ vital health information is collected using the Internet of Things based on smart technology. The information is evaluated, and decisions are made by AI, while the developed machine performs the appropriate task. This research, therefore, looks at the material design of medical products for elderly people based on artificial intelligence. It goes further and explains some of the challenges encountered in the process and possible remedies.

“…In summary, ICT could serve as a strategy to enable socially isolated people to utilize health care aides' services, 36,102,126,127 and address the lack of direct support from professionals available to provide care services 128 and leverage the shortage of skilled and well-trained health care professionals. 129 Involving health care aides into the process of designing, implementing, and customizing new ICT is crucial to increase the rate of adoption. 36,37 As the older adult population demands more caregiver professional services, we could expect an increasing number of new ICT to support health care aides.…”

Background Although information and communication technologies (ICT) are becoming more common among health care providers, there is little evidence on how ICT can support health care aides. Health care aides, also known as personal care workers, are unlicensed service providers who encompass the second largest workforce, next to nurses, that provide care to older adults in Canada. Objective The purpose of this literature review is to examine the range and extent of barriers and benefits of ICT used by health care workers to manage and coordinate the care-delivery workflow for their clients. Methods We conducted a literature review to examine the range and extent of ICT used by health care aides to manage and coordinate their care delivery, workflow, and activities. We identified 8,958 studies of which 40 were included for descriptive analyses. Results We distinguished the following five different purposes for the use and implementation of ICT by health care aides: (1) improve everyday work, (2) access electronic health records for home care, (3) facilitate client assessment and care planning, (4) enhance communication, and (5) provide care remotely. We identified 128 barriers and 130 benefits related to adopting ICT. Most of the barriers referred to incomplete hardware and software features, time-consuming ICT adoption, heavy or increased workloads, perceived lack of usefulness of ICT, cost or budget restrictions, security and privacy concerns, and lack of integration with technologies. The benefits for health care aides' adoption of ICT were improvements in communication, support to workflows and processes, improvements in resource planning and health care aides' services, and improvements in access to information and documentation. Conclusion Health care aides are an essential part of the health care system. They provide one-on-one care to their clients in everyday tasks. Despite the scarce information related to health care aides, we identified many benefits of ICT adoption.
