Featuring selected contributions presented at the 2025 International Conference on Demographic Transition, Health, and Technologies (ICDTHT25) held in Salinas, Ecuador, the contents of this book explore issues such as aging population, migration, physical health, and cognitive health as well as new approaches and innovations for the well-being of societies.
