Abstract

In the last few decades, the life expectancy in most of the countries has increased. Dementia, chronic diseases and conditions such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes are the most common health problems. Therefore, there is no wonder that the demand for healthcare services has been increased. The Elderly people may require frequent, immediate medical intervention, which may otherwise result into fatal consequences.
