9. They live longer
and they want to
keep their
independence
Modern
seniors live
longer and
they want to
keep their
independence.
Those new
realities give
birth to the
aging-in-place
trend.
10. Aging-in-place definition:
“Aging in place is a term used to describe a person
living in the residence of their choice, for as long
as they are able, as they age. This includes being
able to have any services (or other support) they
might need over time as their needs change.” (Age
in Place, 2015)
11. -The American Association of
Retired Persons
“Nearly 90% of seniors want
to stay in their own homes
as they age”.
12. The role of
technology in the
aging-in-place
popularity
Technology is
playing a big role
in the popularity of
this trend. They
make the aging -in-
place a reality for
some, and for the
others they make it
an easier and safer
alternative to the
regular retirement
homes.
14. -SeniorsGrowth.com, 2016
“It’s only a matter of time before they become a significant piece of
senior health care management, particularly for seniors “aging in
place”, who still want the comfort of knowing their health is being
actively tracked. Currently, 16% of consumers use wearable sensors
with 47% saying they would consider using them in the near future.”
15. Internet Savvy:
Seniors are coming
to the internet
In fact, 58% of
seniors are
already using
the web (Pew
Research Center,
2015).
16. Business have to adapt
to take advantage of
this new trend
Larger font type
Easier user interface
Simple functionality
17. Migration of care
B.E. Smith Report: One of
the challenges faced by
healthcare executives2
18. Migration of care
away from
hospitals and
clinics is a new
trend in this
industry
“More and more
patients are
migrating from the
regular hospitals,
physician practices
and clinics to
emerging providers
like retail clinics and
independent
ambulatory services”
(B.E. Smith report,
2015).
19. -B.E. Smith report, 2015
“Forbes noted in 2014 there were now
10,000 urgent care clinics across the US,
handling 160 million visits annually, and the
retail health has become a $16 billion
industry.”
20. “Healthcare services are migrating out of
the hospital’s or clinic’s four walls.
Emerging players are taking their place in
the market. Innovation and new
technologies are also providing new
opportunities” (B.E. Smith, 2015).
21. Cost saving vs
quality care;
technology might
have the solution

23. The American
Telemedicine Association
defines telemedicine as:
“the use of medical information exchanged from one
site to another via electronic communications to
improve a patient’s clinical health status”.
25. -Reuters.com, 2012
“The Center for Disease Control in a study last year
estimated that fewer emergency hospital stays could save
$7 billion annually. One night in an intensive care unit can
cost $10,000, in a nursing home over $200, while staying
at home with a health monitor could cost as little as $10.”
26. The emergence and popularity of new social trend
like; aging-in-place or the fact that patients are
more and more seeking more convenient
healthcare, combined with innovative new
technologies like telemedicine are shifting the
landscape of the healthcare industry. The
healthcare executives have now the opportunity
to either to implement cost saving strategies
without the trade-off on quality or introduce
totally new services.
