“…The IoTs and wearable technologies might be quite popular and crucial in SSC ( 23 ). However, Chinese seniors have a limited understanding of the use of these technologies, resulting in a considerable mismatch between technology use and actual demand ( 24 ). This makes the elderly unable to fully enjoy the convenience brought by smart services and eventually become “digital refugees” ( 25 ).…”

With the rapid rise of artificial intelligence, smart senior care has become a new trend for future development. The collection of “Typical Cases of Chinese Elderly Service Industry Development” is selected by the script materials. The main purpose of this article is to investigate how smart senior care can achieve value co-creation by grounded theory. This study explores the phenomenon of value co-creation in the participation of multiple actors in smart senior care services. Findings show that institutional guarantee, technical intake, market empowerment, emotional support, service interaction, and reciprocity norm are identified as the driving factors for value co-creation. In addition, the behavioral processes of value co-creation include multi-actor value consensus, co-creation environment establishment, practical value co-creation, public value sharing, and diffusion of service added value in smart senior care. Finally, this study constructs a practical logic model of achieving value co-creation. It extends and enriches the scope of the value co-creation theory. This study confirms that value co-creation can be effectively achieved in smart senior care by the above-mentioned ways, revealing its driving factors and behavioral processes. The article expands on the application of value co-creation in the field of public healthcare. The results have important theoretical and practical significance for narrowing the public service equalization gap.

“…With growing emphasis on the development of artificial intelligence (AI) for TCM, AI-driven TCM characteristic diagnostic technology of syndrome differentiation may alleviate the scarcity of clinical TCM practitioners, and promote AI development of TCM medical decision-making. 12 , 13 The development of AI in TCM remains in its infancy, and the establishment of an intelligent infrastructure based on deep learning for TCM syndrome is of more paramount significance. 14 , 15 , 16 Several TCM research institutions have integrated AI techniques with distinctive TCM syndrome differentiation, and have achieved better predictive performance of the model in several tasks, such as TCM syndrome prediction, tongue diagnosis, and constitution identification, among others.…”

“…TCM clinical skills, such as inspection, auscultation and olfaction, palpation, and inquiry, are usually used to assess an individual’s overall health status. TCM practitioners often adopt various therapeutic methods to treat patients, such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, and tuina [ 15 , 16 ]. The role of SPs in TCM education is a frontier topic in the Chinese medical education system [ 17 ].…”

Background The practical training course of internal medicine of traditional Chinese medicine (PTC-IMTCM) is primarily based on traditional case teaching, which can be stressful for teachers. The use of virtual standardized patient (VSP) applications could be an alternative; however, there is limited evidence regarding their feasibility and effectiveness. Objective This study aimed to build a VSP-TCM application according to the characteristics of PTC-IMTCM and the needs of students and to compare its efficacy with that of traditional teaching in improving TCM clinical competence among students. Methods A prequestionnaire investigation was conducted before the course, and a VSP-TCM system was developed based on the results of the questionnaire. A randomized controlled trial was then conducted between February 26, 2020, and August 20, 2021. A total of 84 medical students were included and were divided into 2 groups: an observation group, trained with VSP-TCM (n=42, 50%), and a control group, trained with traditional academic training (n=42, 50%). Formative and summative assessments were conducted to evaluate teaching effectiveness. After completing the course, the students were administered a questionnaire to self-assess their satisfaction with the course. A questionnaire was also administered to 15 teachers to uncover their perspectives on VSP-TCM. Results All participants completed the study. In the formative assessment, the VSP-TCM group performed better in medical interviewing ability (mean 7.19, SD 0.63, vs mean 6.83, SD 0.81; P=.04), clinical judgment (mean 6.48, SD 0.98, vs mean 5.86, SD 1.04; P=.006), and comprehensive ability (mean 6.71, SD 0.59, vs mean 6.40, SD 0.58; P=.02) than the control group. Similarly, in the summative evaluation, the VSP-TCM group performed better in the online systematic knowledge test (OSKT; mean 86.62, SD 2.71, vs mean 85.38, SD 2.62; P=.046), application of TCM technology (mean 87.86, SD 3.04, vs mean 86.19, SD 3.08; P=.02), TCM syndrome differentiation and therapeutic regimen (mean 90.93, SD 2.42, vs mean 89.60, SD 2.86; P=.03), and communication skills (mean 90.67, SD 4.52, vs mean 88.24, SD 4.56; P=.02) than the control group. There was no significant difference in medical writing between both groups (mean 75.07, SD 3.61, vs mean 75.71, SD 2.86; P=.37). The postcourse feedback questionnaire indicated that VSP-TCM can better enhance students’ TCM thinking ability (n=39, 93%, vs n=37, 88%; P=.002), medical history collection (n=38, 90%, vs n=30, 72; P=.001), syndrome differentiation and treatment and critical thinking (n=38, 90%, vs n=37, 88%; P=.046), comprehensive clinical application ability (n=40, 95%, vs n=36, 86%; P=.009), interpersonal communication skills (n=36, 86%, vs n=28, 67%; P=.01), and autonomous learning ability (n=37, 88%, vs n=28, 67%; P=.01) than traditional academic training. Similarly, the teachers held a positive perspective on VSP-TCM. Conclusions VSP-TCM enhances students’ TCM clinical competence and dialectical thinking and improves their ability to work autonomously. Moreover, the VSP-TCM system is feasible, practical, and cost-effective and thus merits further promotion in TCM education.
