AgeTech holds immense potential for palliative care, but research faces several challenges. Significant barriers include limited funding and methodological issues related to small sample sizes and high patient attrition rates in studies involving the seriously ill. Ethical considerations are paramount, specifically concerning informed consent from vulnerable older adults, ensuring beneficence, and navigating data confidentiality and privacy in technology use. Furthermore, researchers must mitigate the risk of creating inequity or bias due to non-representative data. Overcoming these requires multidisciplinary teams with expertise in both palliative care and technology ethics.
