Digital inclusion has become a social determinant of health, reshaping the way we access opportunities, information, products and services. Leveraging technology to invest in the health system and create age-friendly digital environments can yield benefits for older people, the economy and society at large. This research article hosted and authored by the WHO Collaborating Centre for Digital Health outlines how the promotion of digital inclusion for older people requires multisectoral and intersectoral collaborations to overcome the barriers of digital inclusion, such as psychosocial, physical, health and financial barriers, ensuring that older people can meaningfully and safely engage in the digital world. Such efforts can contribute to achieving the vision of healthy ageing “Turn Silver into Gold.”
