Article 19 of the Universal Declaration ofHuman Rights affirms the right to seek, receive, and impart information freely. Inline with this, the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing (2002) stressesthe importance of ensuring that elderly persons benefit from new technologies,including accessible and user-friendly digital tools. Similarly, the Council of theEuropean Union, in 2020, emphasized the promotion of digital inclusion for theelderly, taking into account their diverse needs and living environments.Despite increasing policy attention, many elderly individuals – particularlythose in long-term care (LTC) settings – continue to face exclusion from digitalresources. This exclusion stems from multiple barriers, including physical andcognitive impairments, socioeconomic disparities, limited digital literacy, andageist attitudes. These challenges are further exacerbated by the poor usability ofdigital tools and underdeveloped telehealth infrastructures.Bridging the digital divide is thus essential to safeguarding the right to healthof older adults, especially those in LTC settings who are among the most vulnerable. This study aims to promote the right to health in LTC contexts by addressingthe digital divide from both the users’ and providers’ perspectives. It seeks to answer two central questions:1) How does the digital divide affect the right to health of the elderly inlong-term care settings?2) What are effective practices to bridge this divide and uphold the rightto health for the elderly?
