摘要
This chapter synthesizes key findings from the preceding chapters of the volume, highlighting how ICTs influence healthy aging across diverse global contexts. It distills major themes related to digital access, literacy, links to health, cognitive outcomes, and inclusion, while identifying persistent structural disparities. Building on this synthesis, the chapter outlines nine core policy priorities to promote equitable ICT use among older adults. It concludes with future research directions, emphasizing the need to explore long-term outcomes, cultural variation, and ethical applications of emerging technologies. The chapter serves as both a summary and a forward-looking roadmap for inclusive digital aging.
