The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, and digital platforms is rapidly reshaping elderly healthcare. With aging populations worldwide, healthcare systems face unprecedented challenges, including rising chronic diseases, caregiver shortages, and demands for sustainable care delivery. Emerging technologies present opportunities to enhance personalized monitoring, improve rehabilitation, and foster social inclusion for older adults. This paper provides a comprehensive review of recent developments across multiple domains: AI-powered predictive analytics, IoT-enabled smart healthcare systems, robotic caregiving and rehabilitation, and digital inclusion initiatives. Evidence from systematic reviews, experimental prototypes, cross-cultural surveys, and large-scale national opinion studies highlights both the potential and limitations of these technologies. While IoT devices and digital twins enable real-time health monitoring, social robots enhance engagement, adherence to exercise, and emotional well-being. However, persistent challenges remain, such as privacy, scalability, ethical considerations, digital literacy, and trust in AI-driven systems. Importantly, cultural and regional differences significantly shape acceptance, as seen in surveys from the UK, Japan, and the US. This paper synthesizes insights from over twenty recent studies and proposes a roadmap emphasizing interoperability, ethical governance, inclusive design, and multi-stakeholder collaboration. Ultimately, the integration of AI, IoT, and robotics has the potential to transform elderly healthcare, but its success depends on balancing technological innovation with human-centered values along with ethics and sustainable policies.
