With just a soft call, the smart speaker can provide a series of life information; with a single finger, the mobile phone APP can interpret the physical examination report and give health advice; wearing a smart watch can monitor heart rate, sleep and other health information in real time... In recent years With the development of new-generation information technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence, more and more intelligent products and services have entered the lives of the people. While providing efficient and convenient elderly care services for the elderly, home care and community care are provided. More temperature and better quality.
Not long ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the National Health Commission jointly formulated the Action Plan for the Development of Smart Health and Elderly Care Industry (2021-2025) (hereinafter referred to as the Action Plan), aiming at multi-level and diversified health care for the elderly. Demand, focusing on technological innovation and application, increasing product supply, data platform construction, expanding application scenarios, etc., to further promote the development of my country's smart health care industry.
In recent years, what new formats and new models have emerged in my country's smart health care industry?
How to let more elderly people enjoy smart life?
The reporter interviewed relevant experts and companies.
Continuously enriching products and services
The pilot demonstration has a prominent role
At 7:00 in the morning, the elderly father who was in his hometown with video surveillance; at 10:00 in the morning, the children’s program was played regularly to accompany the granddaughter; near noon, one-click to place an order to make an appointment for take-out lunch at the "Love Station"... Last July, a small smart screen The arrival of Auntie Sun led a smart retirement life.
Aunt Sun lives in Guofeng Meitang Community, Changping District, Beijing. Like her, there are more than 200 elderly people in the community who enjoy smart elderly care.
Mu Yanhua, the head of the community fraternity pension station, told reporters that as long as you speak softly to watch children, learn to dance, and ask questions about health, smart speakers have become a "good companion" for the elderly in the community in their daily lives.
The elderly care life in Guofeng Meitang Community is a vivid case of the rapid development of my country's smart health elderly care industry.
"In recent years, my country's smart health and elderly care products and services have been continuously enriched, new formats continue to emerge, and the concept of smart health and elderly care is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people." said Wu Xin, director of the Industry Investment Department of the 3rd Institute of China Electric Power.
Products and services are more abundant and diversified.
Smart positioning cards, Holter recorders, smart sleep devices...In response to the needs of the elderly for health and elderly care, domestic companies have launched a number of health and elderly care products with intelligent and networked features. The two editions of the "Smart Health Care Products and Services Promotion Catalog" released by the three departments of the Commission successively included 118 smart health care products and 120 smart health care services, which promoted the popularization and application of smart health care products.
The pilot demonstration role is more prominent.
At present, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in conjunction with the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the National Health Commission, has carried out four batches of application pilot demonstration work, and a total of 167 demonstration enterprises, 297 demonstration streets (townships) and 69 demonstration bases have been selected.
Tianjin, Anhui, Jiangxi and other provinces have also introduced supporting policies related to smart health and elderly care, and the demonstration and agglomeration effects have become increasingly prominent.
“Driven by technology and demand, industrial resources such as information technology, medical and health care, and elderly care services have accelerated the integration, forming a more complete smart health and elderly care industry chain.” Wu Xin said, during the rapid development of the industry, a number of well-equipped For more powerful companies, industry support capabilities such as common technology research and development, standard testing and verification, and personnel training are constantly increasing.
Strengthen information technology support
Improve product supply capacity
Industry experts believe that despite the rapid development of the industry, as the people's demand for health and elderly care is increasing, the supply of available health and elderly care resources in the society is relatively insufficient.
Using the integrated application of information technology to improve the utilization efficiency of elderly care service resources has become a "key" to break the contradiction between the supply and demand of elderly care services.
In the new version of the "Action Plan", strengthening information technology support and improving product supply capabilities are listed as the top tasks to promote industrial development, and it is clearly stated that the integrated innovation and integrated application of a new generation of information technology in the fields of health and elderly care should be promoted to improve health. The level of intelligence of elderly care products and services.
This provides a path for promoting the innovation and development of the industry and allowing more elderly people to enjoy their old age wisely.

Millimeter wave radar technology has realized the transition from passive alarm to active warning, which can better protect the elderly." Tianhe Pension founder Bu Jiangyong told reporters , Millimeter-wave radar technology is mostly used in the field of unmanned driving. After technical cooperation with a domestic intelligent hardware equipment company, it has been able to sense heart rate, breathing and sleep in real time through the analysis of the elderly’s motion trajectory. In the event of an accident, it can take the initiative Call the police and mobilize the hospital to rescue the elderly.
Nowadays, through the docking with smart hardware equipment companies, more new technologies in auxiliary diagnosis, chronic disease management and control, early screening of serious illnesses, and life services have been polished, improved, and applied to enter the field of elderly care, providing safe and healthy care services for the elderly .
"With the development of technologies such as perception, high-precision positioning, and health monitoring, health and elderly care products are gradually becoming intelligent." Sun Qifeng, director of the China Electronics Standardization Institute, introduced a variety of smart terminals such as smart wearables, health monitoring, and elderly care. The equipment is put on the market and widely used, which will benefit more senior citizens.
Deep use of information technology
Integrate resources to form a joint force
While the elderly care industry has achieved remarkable results, it is also facing development problems.
“On the one hand, the degree of informatization and intelligence is not enough. The information resources of homes, communities, and elderly care institutions are not effectively integrated, and the collection, storage and intelligent analysis capabilities of health data are insufficient, and it is difficult to adapt to market development. On the other hand, current products and services exist Issues such as the different levels of aging and supply inconsistent with actual demand also affect the development of the industry to a certain extent.” said Zhao Xiaoying, deputy secretary-general of the National Audio and Video Standards Committee.
In this regard, the "Action Plan" proposes to build a strong smart health and elderly care software system platform to realize the effective collection and management of data.
At the same time, enterprises are encouraged to study theories and methods of data mining for health and elderly care, and use data security technology to ensure the security of personal information.
At present, some localities and enterprises have taken the lead in pilot projects, and formed a long-term risk control model for the elderly by integrating information among the elderly, families, and health service organizations, and provided more targeted elderly care services for the elderly.
