Theresa Catharina

This research assesses the implementation and effectiveness of telemedicine in providing healthcare services to older adults. It evaluates patient satisfaction, accessibility, and clinical outcomes, highlighting both the benefits and the challenges, such as technological barriers and the need for digital literacy among the elderly. Dementia, a syndrome characterized by a decline in cognitive function beyond what might be expected from normal aging, presents a significant challenge to public health globally. While biological factors like genetics and brain health play a pivotal role in the development of dementia, the impact of psychosocial factors cannot be overlooked. Understanding how psychosocial factors influence the onset and progression of dementia is crucial for developing effective prevention and management strategies.
