Current Situation and Evaluation of Smart Senior Care in Jiaxing City, China

Abstract

With the deepening population ageing, the aging problem is becoming more prominent in various countries. Traditional ways of ageing cannot meet the needs of modern ageing, and in the context of Internet+ and big data, research on smart senior care is becoming increasingly urgent. All nations now agree that information technology may help with traditional ageing. This paper takes Jiaxing city as an example, discusses the current aging situation in the city and the development status of smart senior care, draws on some means of foreign smart senior care, and proposes suggestions. At present, the ageing problem in Jiaxing is very prominent, with a large and fast-growing elderly population and the accelerated development of advanced ageing, smaller families, and empty nesting. Based on the characteristics of Jiaxing city and considering foreign models of smart senior care, this paper proposes three development suggestions: optimise the ageing model, improve the professionalism of service providers, and appeal to the government.
