AbstractSignificant investment in improving the health and wellbeing of aging populations continues, but health and care inequality is an ongoing challenge in Korea, as in other aging countries. Gerontech is often considered a potential solution, but the still-mixed evidence in real-world settings often hampers the widespread adoption of gerontech in the current health and care systems in Korea. This presentation will provide as case studies an overview of two recent government-funded R&D projects in Korea targeting socially disadvantaged older adults and aiming to build evidence on how ICT can improve the design and delivery of integrated health- and care-management services (Min et al., 2021) and public preventive healthcare (Kim et al., 2021).Keywords: ICT, integrated care management, big data, Asia
