This World Health Assembly side event explores how artificial intelligence can support the development of high-quality, equitable, and sustainable long-term care systems. Bringing together policymakers, international organizations, and experts from multiple regions, the event focuses on aligning digital innovation with governance frameworks and financing mechanisms—particularly long-term care insurance—to strengthen people-centred care and system resilience.
Rapid population ageing is placing increasing pressure on long-term care systems worldwide, with challenges in access, workforce capacity, service quality, and financial sustainability. At the same time, advances in artificial intelligence and digital technologies offer new opportunities to improve care delivery and system efficiency. Ensuring that these innovations are guided by appropriate governance, ethical principles, and institutional design is essential to achieving meaningful and inclusive impact.
The session aims to provide a platform for international dialogue on the responsible use of artificial intelligence in long-term care.
It will examine how digital innovation can be integrated with long-term care insurance, service coordination, and policy design to support people-centred and sustainable care systems, while promoting knowledge exchange and cross-country collaboration.
