A Study on the Current Status, Challenges, and Optimization Path of Smart Home-based Elderly Care in Urban Areas under the Background of Active Aging: A Case Study of Hainan
As China's population ages, active aging has become a core strategic direction for addressing the challenges of an aging society. Smart home-based elderly care, as a new type of elderly care that combines internet technology with traditional home-based care models, has become an important innovative path to resolve the contradiction between urban elderly care supply and demand. This paper takes urban areas in Hainan as the research object, collects elderly care data of urban elderly populations in Hainan through questionnaire surveys, analyzes the current development status of smart home-based elderly care in Hainan from four dimensions: family characteristics, social environment characteristics, cognitive characteristics, and service needs, identifies the current practical difficulties faced by smart home-based elderly care in Hainan cities, and finally proposes targeted optimization paths from four dimensions: policy system improvement, professional talent training, technology adaptation and optimization, and cognitive concept guidance, providing practical reference for promoting the high-quality development of smart home-based elderly care in Hainan cities and implementing the active aging strategy.
