Construction Path of Smart Health Care Platform for the Elderly in China

Abstract

China has a large elderly population, and its aging speed is accelerating, which poses a significant challenge for the country in coping with problems induced by population ageing. To address this, it is necessary to establish a smart health care platform for the elderly in China using modern technologies. In this study, we analyze the construction background, concept, and development status of smart health care platforms for the elderly in China. Using the smart health care platform established in Xihu District of Hangzhou city as a case, we analyze the construction model and challenges of the platform and summarize the common features of the platforms in China. Moreover, we propose an implementation path for platform development in China. The platform should be built to contribute to the establishment of a Healthy China using scientific and technological means and be based on the interconnection of national health care information and data; service resources need to be mobilized to provide a community-based comprehensive service; remote health data monitoring and health management are required to strengthen information support, and geographical advantages need to be maximized to promote local elderly health care industries. Furthermore, we suggest that China should accelerate the construction of its health care industry as well as the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, improve the health assessment system for guaranteeing the physical and mental health of the elderly, accelerate the construction of the relevant standards system, and coordinate urban-rural development in this industry.

Study on the impact of smart city construction on the health of the elderly population——A quasi-natural experiment in China

“…Nevertheless, there exists a considerable gap in hospital scale, with notable disparities in bed and physician numbers. Therefore, this paper assessed the level of medical service provision by employing the number of healthcare technical personnel and beds per thousand people [ 64 ]. Table 7 displays the regression outcomes.…”

A Study of the Construction of Smart Healthy Elderly Care City: An Aspect of Foshan City, Guangdong Province

“…Due to the increasingly severe aging problem, this paper discusses the problem of "health plus pension". Urban health care services are faced with the problems of insufficient resources and low level of resource integration, and it is urgent to seize the opportunity of popularization and application of new generation information technologies such as the Internet of Things, promote the innovation of health care services through the popularization of smart technologies and smart facilities, improve the matching efficiency of supply and demand of health care services, and help solve the dilemma of "unmanned elderly care" [9][10][11][12][13].…”

“…If a category is higher than 9.77%, it is considered that the category (Classification (2017) category) has a comparative advantage. As shown in Table 2, the industries that account for more than 9.77% include 13,15,17,20,21,26,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,38,42 According to the survey results, the elderly have lived through the survival stage and have higher spiritual, cultural, health and health needs. However, service industries such as education, tourism and entertainment for the elderly in Foshan can not effectively meet the needs of the elderly population.…”

Research on Improving Elderly Health Service System by Computer Artificial Intelligence Technology

“…The data access layer is mainly responsible for data persistence operations, that is, on the one hand, the data of the data resource layer is fed back to the business logic layer, and on the other hand, the data newly generated by the business logic layer is stored in the data resource layer [8]. In this system, the data operation of the data access layer mainly includes data collection and data analysis.…”
