The geriatric population is increasing across the world. As per the World Population Aging report by the United Nations Department of Economics and Social Affairs, the number of people aged 60 years and over rose from 382 million in 1980 to 962 million in 2017. This number is further projected to increase to 2.1 billion by 2050. Aged people are more susceptible to diseases and need regular care in order to maintain their conditions.
