Artificial intelligence is rapidly moving from a futuristic concept to a practical tool in senior care, helping older persons live more safely and independently at home. New technologies can monitor health patterns, detect falls, support caregivers, and coordinate care, offering solutions as Canada’s aging population places increasing pressure on families and the health-care system. At the same time, experts caution that privacy, oversight and human connection must remain central as AI becomes more integrated into everyday care.
