The demographic change of the worldwide population has made the healthcare and social systems some of the most disturbed domains because of the costs induced by the increased incidence of multiple chronic diseases associated with ageing, but also by the growing number of the elderly and escalating life expectancy. Healthcare expenditure is furthermore expecting to mount due to the strong necessity of deploying better assistive care for older people that is up to create age-friendly environments, personalized treatments and support, appropriate medical devices and access to upgrading knowledge and information. In this context, the new digital technologies have a critical role and the potential to sustain the implementing of new elderly-centered solutions. A digital ecosystem should be based on a holistic approach able to link and interconnect multiple healthcare domains, patient-centered insights, and technology.
