With a fertility rate under 2.0 and life expectancy reaching above 70+ years, India is witnessing an exponential growth in the number and proportion of elderly people. A study by Kumar et al. (2024) revealed that advanced health facilities were more concentrated in metropolitan cities, while smaller cities lacked good health facilities which were not easily accessible. NIMHANS has collaborated with HelpAge India to train 10,000 workers and volunteers to provide geriatric mental health care through ‘Sarthak’, a community-based initiative. Likewise, Ivory Health - an age-tech startup is focusing on addressing cognitive decline among the elderly through cutting-edge technology and personalised interventions.
