Khalid, Muschert, and Daran explore how digital technologies are reshaping elderly care in South Asia and the Middle East, addressing the opportunities and challenges of this transformation through a critical sociological and interdisciplinary lens.
This book examines whether technological advancements can bridge or widen existing disparities in healthcare for older adults, using cross-regional perspectives, empirical case studies, and policy analysis from South Asia, the Middle East, and other comparable contexts. It discusses practical solutions for inclusive technology adoption, ethical concerns, and community-driven models, offering actionable insights for policymakers, researchers, healthcare providers, and technology developers working toward equitable and sustainable elderly care.
It is an essential volume for academics and researchers in sociology, public policy, Middle Eastern and South Asian studies, as well as policymakers, healthcare professionals, and technology developers interested in exploring technological innovations, policy frameworks, and practical pathways for the digital transformation of aging in the Global South.
