This transition is enabled by a synergistic framework combining Internet of Things sensing for continuous monitoring, Artificial intelligence for predictive analytics and personalization, and assistive robotics for physical and psychosocial support. These technologies converge to create continuous, person-centered service chains within inclusive environments. However, significant challenges in technology reliability, data governance, social acceptance, commercial viability, and adaptive policy-ethics frameworks hinder implementation. Future evolution, therefore, requires agile governance, human-centered design, and cross-sector collaboration to build sustainable, trustworthy, and equitable intelligent care ecosystems that truly enhance the well-being and dignity of older adults.</abstract><keywords/></article-meta></front><body/><back><ref-list><ref id="B1" content-type="article"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><p>Huang J, Zhang Y, Xv M, et al., 2025, Association between Oral Health Status and Frailty in Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
