Globally, we face a rapid double growth of the ageing population that urges an integrated framework plan by connecting the health and social care disciplines as a shared and continuum of care approach. Bridging the gap between health and social care is required to meet the demand of ageing population needs, the readiness of the stakeholders, and community as a holistic approach. This article provides an overview of the evidence gap between social care and healthcare through a scoping review. Articles retrieved related to social and health care for older adults in the Asia region were identified through a compilation of PubMed, SAGE, Springer, and Google Scholar searches between the years 2015 to 2021. Only twelve articles were used for result generation. The majority highlights the constraint on financial support, issues related to culture, human resource competency and community participation. The systematic review of the current work provides valuable insight for future researchers and policymakers in designing sustainable development integrated long term care (LTC) framework models and plans.

Background/Objectives: The digital transformation of healthcare has become a key component of building resilient and sustainable health systems. However, the long-term sustainability of digital health technologies depends not only on user acceptance but also on the institutional governance conditions that shape how these technologies are implemented and utilised in practice. This study examines how institutional factors shape the sustainable utilisation patterns of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in regulated healthcare environments, with hospital IoT-based asset management systems, a mature and widely deployed use case in China’s public hospitals, providing the empirical context for the investigation. Methods: Drawing on institutional theory and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), we conceptualise user perceptions as behavioural micro-foundations through which institutional conditions influence technology utilisation. A survey of 293 healthcare professionals from two large public hospitals in China was analysed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), incorporating mediation and Multi-Group Analysis (MGA). Results: The results demonstrate that technical compatibility (TC) significantly enhances perceived ease of use (PEU) (β = 0.40), while organisational support (OS) positively influences both perceived usefulness (PU) (β = 0.35) and PEU (β = 0.30). Conversely, regulatory compliance (RC) negatively affects PU (β = −0.25) and PEU (β = −0.20), revealing a tension between accountability requirements and operational efficiency. The model explains between 58% and 67% of the variance in key constructs. Conclusions: Overall, the findings indicate that sustainable utilisation patterns depend on alignment between technological capabilities and institutional governance conditions, with user perceptions operating as behavioural micro-foundations through which institutional effects are transmitted. By integrating institutional theory with technology acceptance research, this study contributes a governance perspective for understanding sustainable digital transformation in healthcare systems and provides practical insights for designing interoperable, compliant, and supportive digital health infrastructures to enhance hospital operational efficiency and quality of care.

The ease of investment resulted in soaring number of millennial investors in Indonesia. Most investors in Indonesia are a beginner and do not know how to invest properly. Ignorance of investment encourages investors to find information and looking for role model then commonly leads to herding behaviour. This habit contradicts with traditional finance theory where investors supposed to invest rationally and avoid risk. This study will further explore the relationship between trustworthiness of financial influencers and financial literacy on herding behaviours with risk perception as mediating variables in millennial investors in Indonesia. Based on path analysis resulting the variable significantly influence each other directly or indirectly through mediating variable. Direct effect of trustworthiness financial influencer positively related with the herding behaviour, but the financial literacy negatively related with the herding behaviour. Indirectly Financial literacy level increased to increase risk perception and trustworthiness financial influencer vice versa. The decrease of risk perception leads millennial investor to herd and the increase of risk perception make investor more careful to make investment. There are still 33% of other factors influenced outside this study, for example gender, age, income, occupation and many other. Prior study has not examined the impact of a millennial follower’s trust on influencers to herding behaviours using risk perception as a mediating variable.
