The aged care innovation conference (ITAC25) emphasized the necessity for personal data to track an individual's journey throughout their entire lifespan. This recommendation is based on the understanding that care services must handle data seamlessly across all stages—from community living and home care to residential facilities. The experts stressed that core interoperability data cannot be confined merely to specific GP or hospital datasets. Instead, it must form a comprehensive foundation capable of capturing an individual's entire care history, thereby enabling continuous care provision throughout the life cycle. This discussion underscores the critical importance of data continuity and accessibility in digital health.
