Abstract

In the face of aging, it can be difficult for the elderly to accept and cope with changes. During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, changes in the medical service market for health care such as non-face-to-face treatment implementation, education and counseling, seminars, and camps have accelerated. Changes in medical use through mobile phones, tablet PCs, wearable devices, etc. were inevitable. It is important to study how the current early elderly population maintains change in daily life and the extent to which elderly people living alone can participate in such change. This review aims to answer the question, “What should we consider when treating and consulting patients regarding use of the vastly changing medical environment?” In particular, the study focuses on digital healthcare and community care and related health and welfare policies with consideration of aging and increasing chronic diseases.
