Current Trends of Computational Tools in Geriatric Medicine and Frailty Management

Abstract

While frailty corresponds to a multisystem failure, geriatric assessment can recognize multiple pathophysiological lesions and age changes. Up to now, a few frailty indexes have been introduced, presenting definitions of psychological problems, dysregulations in nutritional intake, behavioral abnormalities, and daily functions, genetic, environmental, and cardiovascular comorbidities. The geriatric evaluation includes a vast range of health professionals; therefore, we describe a broad range of applications and frailty scales-biomarkers to investigate and formulate the relationship between frailty lesions, diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment. Additionally, artificial intelligence applications and computational tools are presented, targeting a more efficacy individualized geriatric management of healthy aging.

“…This pre-intervention workup, combined with engagement with family members and interdisciplinary teams, may improve post-interventional outcomes [ 89 ]. Additionally, artificial intelligence applications and computational tools could serve as a potential tool in developing management plans for individualized geriatric management of healthy aging [ 90 ].…”
