In recent years, unprecedented demographic aging has placed considerable strain on outdated healthcare systems, exacerbating existing challenges and creating new ones. Geriatric care, in particular, necessitates a multidisciplinary approach involving architects and engineers alongside healthcare professionals. Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), digital healthcare, adaptive systems, inclusive policies, and biodegradable materials offer promising avenues for systematic improvements in healthcare delivery. Transforming Healthcare Infrastructure addresses the issues of demographic aging and embracing digital transformations such as AI and offers timely insights into the evolving landscape of healthcare. It also emphasizes the necessity for all stakeholders to embrace these changes for the betterment of healthcare delivery and outcomes. This book serves as a definitive resource for healthcare professionals at all levels, from frontline workers to administrators, as well as researchers and students across various disciplines. Engineers, policymakers, architects, and environmentalists within the healthcare sector will also find it indispensable.

Key Features:

• Offers timely insights into the evolving landscape of healthcare
• Explores emerging technologies such as AI, Internet of Things (IoT), adaptive systems, and biodegradable materials used for healthcare solutions
• Emphasizes the necessity for all stakeholders to embrace these changes for the betterment of healthcare delivery and outcomes
