Demand, utilization, and supply of community smart senior care services for older people in China

Older adults expressed a strong demand for smart ageing services; however, difficulties using smart technology remain a serious problem. Further investigation of how family support contributes to the perception and use of care services for older people is needed. Specific policies, such as financial assistance, should be established to support service use. Communities should expand their support and promotion of smart ageing services, focusing on enhancing digital health literacy among seniors to facilitate product utilization. Furthermore, personalized recommendations and applications tailored to the physical conditions of older adults are essential.
