According to the United Nations population fund (UNFPA), Vietnam is currently facing rapid population aging, which creates significant challenges in healthcare and support services for the elderly. In this context, the application of technology in elderly healthcare not only helps reduce the burden on society but also supports families in caring for their loved ones, ensuring a better quality of life for the elderly.
On the morning of November 27, 2024, the conference and exhibition "Technology applications in elderly healthcare" - Vietnam Golden Age Care 2024, took place at Quang Trung Software Park, Ho Chi Minh City. This is an important event in the context of Vietnam and the world facing rapid population aging. In Vietnam, the elderly population is increasing, presenting many challenges for healthcare and enhancing their quality of life. According to statistics, individuals aged 60 and above accounted for 11.9% of the total population in 2019 and are projected to exceed 25% by 2050.
As the elderly population rises, the demand for social services and healthcare also increases. Elderly people often suffer from 3 to 5 chronic diseases, requiring long-term or even lifelong treatment, putting considerable pressure on the healthcare system. Therefore, enhancing healthcare and improving the quality of life for the elderly is extremely urgent. One effective solution is the application of technology in this field, helps improve the quality of health care for the elderly and improve their lives.
The Vietnam Golden Age Care 2024 conference and exhibition serves as a platform for networking between technology companies, medical equipment suppliers, geriatric clinics, healthcare service providers, and nursing home investors. The event aims to build a comprehensive healthcare ecosystem for the elderly, especially in Vietnam.
During the conference, experts from KPMG, Thong Nhat Hospital, Mobifone, TMA, and other technology companies will share insights on elderly healthcare, current needs, and realities in Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam, as well as global trends in the application of technology in this field. Companies will also present the latest technological solutions, including trends in the new generation of nursing homes (inpatient, outpatient, and residential care), as well as models combining tourism, relaxation, and wellness.
TMA introduces a solution to support elderly care
At Vietnam Golden Age Care 2024, TMA officially introduced the mCare elderly care solution, an advanced technology system designed to enhance the quality of healthcare for the elderly. This comprehensive solution integrates numerous modern features, enabling 24/7 health monitoring and automatic alerts in case of abnormalities.
The mCare system not only supports the monitoring of health indicators but is also flexibly designed to integrate with other medical devices, catering to the diverse needs of elderly care facilities. Additionally, mCare effectively addresses challenges such as staff shortages and inefficient operational management – two major issues faced by many care institutions.
A key highlight of mCare is its application of advanced AI technology, digitizing the entire operational and management process within elderly care facilities. This system not only improves the management of facilities and staff but also delivers exceptional value to the elderly, their families, and caregiving teams, including:
- For the elderly: Continuous health monitoring, early warnings for abnormalities, medication management, and information sharing with family members.
- For elderly care facilities: Enhanced service quality, optimized operational processes and costs, and improved customer satisfaction.
The mCare solution goes beyond managing care within institutions, expanding to include various at-home services such as monitoring chronic illnesses, providing personal doctors, and offering online consultation support. This marks a significant advancement that underscores TMA's pioneering role in leveraging technology to meet the healthcare needs of the elderly community in Vietnam.
The Vietnam Golden Age Care 2024 conference and exhibition not only provides an opportunity for stakeholders to connect but also marks a significant step in applying technology to improve healthcare for the elderly. This event emphasizes the importance of technology in addressing the challenges of population aging, aiming for a healthy and sustainable future for the elderly community in Vietnam.
