“…Considering their cognitive decline, the development of digital technologies needs to be oriented toward the supply side [71]. The government needs to invest in digital health services for the elderly as free public services so that they can adapt to the digital society and be willing to use digital technology for health management [72].…”

The aging transformation of digital health services faces issues of how to distinguish influencing factors, redesign services, and effectively promote measures and policies. In this study, in-depth interviews were conducted, and grounded theory applied to open coding, main axis coding, and selective coding to form concepts and categories. Trajectory equifinality modeling clarified the evolution logic of digital transformation. Based on the theory of service ecology, a digital health service aging model was constructed from the “macro–medium–micro” stages and includes governance, service, and technology transformation paths. The macro stage relies on organizational elements to promote the institutionalization of management and guide the transformation of governance for value realization, including the construction of three categories: mechanism, indemnification, and decision-making. The meso stage relies on service elements to promote service design and realize service transformation that is suitable for aging design, including the construction of three categories: organization, resources, and processes. The micro stage relies on technical elements to practice experiencing humanization, including the construction of three categories: target, methods, and evaluation. These results deepen the understanding of the main behaviors and roles of macro-organizational, meso-service, and micro-technical elements in digital transformation practice and have positive significance for health administrative agencies to implement action strategies.

Introduction. The population aging in Hanoi Capital and Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) coincides with the development of the 4th Industrial Revolution and digital transformation. The article aims to analyze the current state of social adaptation of elderly people in Vietnam to the digital transformation of society through their attitudes and levels of accessing and using to certain types of digital technologies in the economic, political, social and cultural field. Materials and Methods. The sociological survey of 984 elderly people in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City was conducted from May to September 2022. SPSS version 25.0 was used for statistical analysis and quantitative testing. The national census reports and population aging data were also analyzed. Results. Elderly people are poorly aware of the function and usefulness of some digital technologies, although this technologies are quite popular, necessary, and even created only for them. Therefore, they do not have good access to them. The main reasons are ignorance, the absence of help and guidance. However, elderly people believe that digital technologies will help them live happier and more convenient. Discussion and Conclusion. Equipping the younger generation with digital knowledge and skills is a necessary preparation for the goal of “active aging” in digital era. The government needs more relevant projects to improve the social adaptation of elderly people; pay attention to the best solution to the digital divide for elderly people being in rural area, poor group, low education and living alone. The results of this article provide some important implications for state agencies, elderly associations, family institutions and the elderly. This results will supply ideas to build necessary solutions and policies for the elderly in the digital era.
