Abstract

Older adults in subacute hospital settings demonstrated low eHealth literacy and limited access to digital technologies. Hospitals should consider the heterogeneity of digital skills and access among older patients when implementing digital health solutions. Tailored support, inclusive design and infrastructure investment are essential to avoid exacerbating digital health inequities in inpatient care.
