Residences, digitalization and healthy ageing
Spain has gone through different phases in recent decades in terms of demographics, with the transformation from the “baby boom” to a process of progressive ageing, despite the relief brought about by the significant temporary migration phenomenon in the 2000s.
The country is currently characterised by one of the lowest fertility rates in the EU-27 and a high age at childbearing. This, together with one of the highest life expectancies at birth and at 65 years of age in the OECD, means that the population pyramid is losing its traditional shape (Conde-Ruíz, 2021).
The fact that ageing is not a state common to all people, as it is different for everyone, means that the public health response must be comprehensive, in order to address the vast differences in the experiences and needs of older people.
This diversity is due to the physical and social environments in which people find themselves, as these environments influence their health-related opportunities and habits. The relationship we have with our environment is determined by personal characteristics such as the family we were born into, our gender and ethnicity, and this leads to inequalities in our relationship with health.
For this reason, as part of the 2030 agenda, the WHO launched the “Decade of Healthy Ageing” initiative, which provides an opportunity to bring together governments, civil society, international agencies and professionals around ten years of concerted, catalytic and collaborative action to improve the lives and care of older people, their families and the communities in which they live.
The document literally states the need to “Promote the development, production, availability and use of assistive and digital technologies and innovations that increase access to quality health and social services” and it is in this context that we can include telemedicine and digital health.
