The global demographic landscape is experiencing a significant shift characterized by the aging of societies, and India is no exception to this trend. Projections from a 2009 United Nations report suggest that by 2050, the global elderly population will reach an astounding 2 billion, a substantial increase from the 737 million recorded in 2010. This demographic transformation is accompanied by broader societal changes, including globalization, urbanization, and migration, which have led to notable shifts in family structures and caregiving arrangements for the elderly population. These changes, coupled with evolving cultural norms emphasizing independence, have placed an urgent need for innovative solutions to bridge the caregiving gap.
