The Digital Revolution In Aged Care Summit 2022
Summit Overview
The elderly care sector is undergoing a digital transition in the face of the pandemic, yet there are still gaps that prohibit an integrated and connected digital environment.
Residential and home care providers face challenges such as decentralized frameworks, an absence of data visibility, and system integration, all of which can have a negative impact on the personal experience of residents.
Now is the time to prepare, plan, and deploy future-ready systems and technologies.
Erudite Training Solutions warmly welcomes you to THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION IN AGED CARE SUMMIT 2022 in the Crown Promenade Melbourne. This is a hybrid event: in-person and live-streamed. The summit will address key challenges of improving and rebuilding the aged care system while ensuring high-quality care for the elderly with digital technologies.
Take a virtual site tour of Japan's Future Care Lab: Nursing Care in 2040, explore Smart Homes for the Elderly, and engage in AI-powered Emotion Analysis to gain more insights into how advanced technology can help aged care providers improve operational efficiency and patient outcomes. Recognize the Safe and Effective Elderly Care Risk Management Masterclass.
Joined by leading aged care experts, they will share unique insights and new ideas to help your organization improve palliative, elderly, and dementia care delivery. A fantastic opportunity to network with policymakers, leaders of aged care providers, and other key players in the field.

Panel Discussion: Asia-Pacific Are We Ready for the World's Fastest-Aging Region?
The Asia-Pacific region's population is rapidly aging, with older people expected to more than double from 535 million in 2015 to 1.3 billion in 2050. By then, one in four people in the region will be 60 or older, and one in ten will be 80 or older. As the region's population ages, inequalities often exacerbate, causing deep social, economic, and political implications.
The profound impacts of population aging on the well-being of all generations are increasingly recognized by governments in the region. It will ultimately influence the 2030 Agenda's ambitions to reduce poverty for all people of all ages and backgrounds. Notably, ensuring income security for older people, keeping them healthy, and ensuring access to healthcare are among the requirements of "leaving no older person behind."
