Abstract

Population ageing, combined with an increased use of health technologies to manage co-morbidities, is driving an increased demand for health and aged care services. High usage of these services is particularly common in older adults with the geriatric condition of frailty [1]. This vulnerable population group often faces a mismatch between their care needs and access to health care services due to impairments in physical functioning and/or dependence on other people for assistance
