Collectively, these studies underscore the transformative potential of digital technology in osteoporotic fracture management. Through advanced analytics, comprehensive data analysis, and interdisciplinary cooperation, digital solutions enable precision medicine approaches, significantly enhancing the quality and outcomes of patient care. Moving forward, critical future directions include the validation of these predictive models across diverse populations and clinical settings, alongside their integration into real-world clinical workflows. Prospective clinical trials are necessary to rigorously assess the effectiveness of these digital tools.Additionally, advancing AI-driven diagnostic technologies and digital platforms for patient monitoring and rehabilitation represents promising avenues for research and clinical application (4). International collaboration will be essential in promoting data-sharing initiatives and multicenter studies, ensuring the broad applicability and global accessibility of digital innovations (5). Ultimately, sustained collaborative efforts will elevate standards of care, delivering significant improvements in health outcomes for elderly patients experiencing osteoporotic fractures worldwide.
