Seniors expect to age in place, which means living in their own homes as long as possible with familiar facilities and environments. Due to the capability of continuous and unobtrusive monitoring, the sensor-enhanced in-ho monitoring is regarded as a promising solution to support aging in place. In this paper, by reviewing three influential projects in this field of in-home monitoring for aging in place, we present our opinions and suggestions on the development of informatics-supported aging in place for its practical application in healthcare such as diagnosis and nursing in the era of data science. To promote the practical usage of in-home monitoring in aging, we highlight the gap between demands and available approaches. We conclude that in the next stage we should design demand-oriented system, conduct evidence-based research and accelerate interdisciplinary collaboration.

Burden of caregivers of older people in Sri Lanka: an overlooked concern in the health care system.
BMC Geriatr
January 2025
Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ruhuna, Galle, Sri Lanka.
Background: Caring for older people has become a significant public health concern in Sri Lanka due to the growing aging population. This has placed a heavy burden on family caregivers, particularly those caring for older individuals with multiple chronic conditions. Recognizing this challenge, the present study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Sinhala version of the 10-item short form of the Burden Scale for Family Caregivers (BSFC-s) and assess caregiver burden and associated factors among caregivers of older people aged over 65 years with multimorbidity.

<b>Introduction:</b> In the course of middle ear diseases, a disturbed influence of the system transmitting sound through the middle ear on the function of the inner ear is observed. The audiometric consequence of the disease process taking place in the middle ear is the shift in bone conduction (BC) thresholds, which is called pseudoperceptive hearing loss (the so-called Carhart effect). The natural process of aging of the hearing system (age-related hearing loss) means that the manifestation of the Carhart effect varies in different age groups.
