At present, China has entered an aging society and shows a continuously accelerating trend. As an external supplement to family-based elderly care, community elderly care has gradually attracted attention from the academic community in recent years. With the rapid development of digital technology, new practical paths have emerged for community elderly care to meet the diversified needs of the elderly. However, in the process of practical operation, community elderly care is faced with such problems as insufficient digital literacy among the elderly, a lack of elderly-friendly product design, and inadequate data security and privacy protection, leading to insufficient empowerment of digital technology for community elderly care. In response to these issues, this study proposes practical paths from the aspects of publicity and education, institutional guarantees, product upgrading, and talent support, aiming to provide a certain reference for relevant researchers.
