Social distancing measures around the world and being part of COVID-19 risk groups led seniors to be estranged from their usual activities. In fact, experts have expressed concern about the impact of social isolation during the pandemic on this population.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

According to Dr. Charlotte Yeh, medical director of AARP (American Association of Retired), \u201cIf there is one place we can start in COVID, and especially during social distancing, where we are relying on technology, would be addressing the hearing impaired. Right now, about two-thirds of people 70 and older have clinically significant hearing loss, and only about 20%-30% ever get hearing aids,\u201d<\/p>

Faced with this problem, one of the solutions presented by Digital Health, are voice assistants that can be effective in combating loneliness in older adults. However, expert support is directed towards virtual voice assist technologies that offer various options to improve their use even for older adults with limited hearing capacity: \"In the virtual assistance we support, one of the aspects we build in to control this technology is a couple of things. One is the actual volume of the voice-assisted technology\" said Nathan Treloar, COO of Orbita.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Yeh welcomed the situation that had got older adults to try new technologies through telehealth. I love the fact that the e-health alliance<\/em> surveyed Medicare beneficiaries, so you are talking 65 and older \u2013 68% of them as of April \u2013 had already tried new technology they hadn\u2019t used before to communicate and stay connected with others.\u201d<\/p>

In addition, he highlighted the secondary benefits of telehealth, such as the fact that the doctor can connect and see the patient at home. When we ask ourselves about adherence to medication or on the right day, you now have a good appreciation of what your patient is doing at home, and can make adjustments, which we've never had access to before.\"<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

HIMSS20 en su versi\u00f3n digital ofreci\u00f3 una conferencia sobre el uso de asistencia virtual y telemedicina durante la pandemia Las medidas de distanciamiento social alrededor del mundo y ser parte de los grupos de riesgo ante COVID-19, hizo que los adultos de la tercera edad estuvieran alejados de sus actividades habituales. De hecho, expertos han mostrado preocupaci\u00f3n sobre el impacto del aislamiento social durante la pandemia en esta poblaci\u00f3n.\u00a0 Seg\u00fan la Dra. Charlotte Yeh, directora m\u00e9dica de AARP (American Association of Retired Persons): \u201cSi hay un lugar donde podemos comenzar en COVID, y especialmente durante el distanciamiento social, donde dependemos de la tecnolog\u00eda, ser\u00eda abordar a las personas con discapacidad auditiva. En este momento, alrededor de dos tercios de las personas mayores de 70 a\u00f1os tienen una p\u00e9rdida auditiva cl\u00ednicamente significativa, y solo entre el 20% y el 30% alguna vez recibe aud\u00edfonos”. Ante esta problem\u00e1tica una de las soluciones que presenta la Salud Digital, son los asistentes de voz que pueden ser efectivos para combatir la soledad en adultos mayores.\u00a0 Sin embargo, el apoyo de los expertos se encamina hacia las tecnolog\u00edas asistencia virtual por voz que ofrecen diversas opciones para mejorar su uso incluso para adultos mayores con capacidad auditiva limitada: \u201cEn la asistencia virtual que apoyamos, uno de los aspectos que incorporamos para controlar esta tecnolog\u00eda es un par de cosas. Uno es el volumen real de la tecnolog\u00eda asistida por voz\u201d, dijo Nathan Treloar, director de operaciones de Orbita. Yeh celebr\u00f3 que la situaci\u00f3n haya logrado que adultos mayores probaran nuevas tecnolog\u00edas a trav\u00e9s de la telesalud. \u201cMe encanta el hecho de que e-health alliance encuest\u00f3 a los beneficiarios de Medicare, por lo que estamos hablando de personas mayores de 65 a\u00f1os (el 68% de ellos en abril) ya hab\u00edan probado una nueva tecnolog\u00eda que no hab\u00edan usado antes para comunicarse y mantenerse conectados con otros”. Adem\u00e1s, resalt\u00f3 los beneficios secundarios de la telesalud, como el hecho de que el m\u00e9dico puede conectarse y ver al paciente en su casa. Cuando nos preguntamos sobre la adherencia a la medicaci\u00f3n o en el d\u00eda correcto, ahora tiene una buena apreciaci\u00f3n de lo que su paciente est\u00e1 haciendo en el hogar, y puede hacer ajustes, a los que nunca antes hab\u00edamos tenido acceso”.
