AbstractIn the realm of technology-driven solutions for older adults, known as AgeTech, there exists a promising landscape where advancements can significantly enhance the health, autonomy, and overall quality of life for elderly individuals (Sixsmith, 2021). These innovations not only enable aging individuals to remain independent within their familiar environments but also revolutionize the delivery of essential services. However, within this realm of potential, lies a pressing need to address ethical challenges such as the protection of the fundamental rights, privacy, and well-being of older individuals, particularly in an era marked by rapid technological advancement (Rubeis et al., 2022; Ryan and Gutman, 2023).Keywords: ethics, ethical design, AgeTech, technology
