Abstract
The constantly growing number of elderly people may represent a challenge for the healthcare system of dif-ferent countries, especially when the goal is to promote a healthy ageing for older adults.COVID-19 pandemic is demonstrating the necessity of moving from traditional care to telemedicine, whichmay provide a broad number of services without losing direct contact with the experts.Therefore, the elderly users should be able to maintain a certain independence, while caring for their physio-logical and psychological health.The introduction of new knowledge-based solutions like medical expert systems coupled with wearable health-care technologies, however, have to cope with two major issues: the digital divide and the elderly acceptanceof new technologies.In this work, these two topics are investigated and the advantages in using a well-designed medical expertsystem for healthy ageing highlighted
