In China, a new BMC Geriatrics study of 8,950 adults aged 65+ links “smart elderly care” with higher subjective well-being, mediated mainly by better health status and, to a smaller degree, social activity. The takeaway for ECREAS: digital care should be judged by equity and daily-life impact, not by novelty. Ref: DOI: 10.1186/s12877-026-07708-z.
In the US, AARP reports that older adults are increasingly encountering AI in healthcare, but transparency is lagging: only 9% say a provider has explained AI use in their care. Consent, disclosure and accountability should become standard design requirements.

Hong Kong PolyU’s June Smart Ageing issue highlights practical adoption lessons: wearables, health monitors and apps help most when paired with community-centre support; mental-health support remains a weak spot. Ref: PolyU Innovation Digest, June 2026; DOI: 10.1159/000539539.
At the World Congress for Age-Friendly Cities and Communities in Donostia/San Sebastián, sessions spotlighted home teleassistance in Costa Rica, Singapore’s CAPE ageing-in-place ecosystem and AI-adaptive social networks linking older adults, families and care teams. Ref: 3WCAFCC programme, 16–18 June 2026.
