Integrative Approaches to Geriatric Care

Abstract

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare presents transformative opportunities, particularly in the field of geriatric care. This chapter explores how AI-driven insights can enhance physical and mental health outcomes for older adults through integrative medicine approaches such as homeopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), naturopathy, and other complementary therapies. The growing global population of older adults faces unique health challenges, requiring tailored interventions that address both physical and emotional well-being. Emotional intelligence (EI) in nursing plays a critical role in facilitating holistic, patient-centred care that is informed by AI technologies. By leveraging AI in clinical decision-making, predictive analytics, and patient monitoring, healthcare providers can offer personalised interventions that encompass the best practices of integrative medicine and evidence-based strategies and also discusses the ethical implications and how can support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals.
