Technology to Support Communication in Palliative Care Practice
摘要
Effective communication is vital in palliative care to ensure patient preferences and wishes are honored, improving satisfaction and goal achievement. AgeTech presents significant opportunities to enhance communication between patients, caregivers, and professionals. Technologies like social media, messaging services (WhatsApp), online planning tools (MyWishes), and AI translation can be used to coordinate care, share personal wishes, preserve digital legacy, and access information in preferred formats. Case studies demonstrate how digital tools empower patients, but strategic implementation is needed to harness technology for improved communication and compassionate care.
