Synopsis

Demographic ageing and increasing life expectancy are transforming organisational structures, work processes, and healthcare and long-term care systems. A longevity society requires a shift from reactive to proactive management of risks, resources, and competencies. Artificial intelligence (AI) and modern information and communication technologies enable early detection of health deterioration, decision support, workflow optimisation, and reduction of administrative burden, provided they are implemented within a sociotechnical framework. This paper synthesises current research on AI in healthcare, long-term care, and the workplace, addressing key technologies such as IoT, predictive analytics, robotics, and digital platforms. Particular attention is given to organisational challenges, including interoperability, data governance, bias and age discrimination, and compliance with the GDPR and the EU AI Act. Based on a literature review, a practical organisational framework for AI implementation is proposed, linking systems engineering, organisational sciences, and health disciplines, together with indicators for evaluating clinical, organisational, and ethical impacts.
