The world is experiencing an unprecedented demographic shift toward aging populations, with the proportion of elderly individuals increasing steadily across developed and developing nations. This demographic transition has created a pressing need for innovative healthcare solutions that can support independent living, ensure safety, and improve the quality of life of senior citizens. Traditional caregiving models, heavily reliant on human caregivers and hospital-based interventions, are becoming increasingly unsustainable due to rising healthcare costs, caregiver shortages, and the growing demand for round-the-clock monitoring.
