wandering around this year's special exhibition on health and sanitation services, the most intuitive feeling is that technology and elderly care are almost inseparable.

ai, an important part of intelligent disciplines, is widely used in robotics, language and image recognition, etc. when ai is trained to understand human micro-expressions and applied to mental health services, what kind of industrial potential will digital intelligence empower healthcare unleash?

bamboo and rattan are the most valuable non-wood forest products in the world. they grow quickly and mature quickly. when rattan is used not only in handicrafts and furniture, but also as a new medical material in bone regeneration implant surgery, what kind of industry innovation can it bring?

cameras, the product of human wisdom, are widely used in security monitoring, remote conferencing, etc. when cameras are applied to health monitoring and personal sports ability assessment, how much consumer space will they create?

from large medical devices to wearable monitoring equipment, from customized health care solutions to home medical services, on the one hand, productive service trade has enabled the integrated development of the elderly care industry with remarkable results; on the other hand, there is great potential to stimulate and expand the consumption potential of elderly care services through life service trade.

whether it is for individuals, families, or a society with a gradually aging population, the elderly care industry has great potential, and ensuring that the elderly are well cared for means that technology must play a big role.

liang wannian, executive vice president of tsinghua university vanke school of public health and health and tsinghua university vanke chair professor, pointed out that the past health care system is increasingly unable to meet the needs of the aging era. the existing elderly care and public health systems urgently need to be reformed towards multi-level, public welfare and high efficiency.

at the beginning of this year, the general office of the state council issued the "opinions on developing the silver economy and improving the welfare of the elderly", which aroused strong attention in the industry.

as china's first silver economy policy, it provides top-level design for the aging economy from the aspects of people's livelihood, product supply, potential industries, and optimized environment.

going down to the community and moving towards the family is seen as an important development prospect for the elderly care industry in the future. this requires not only the reconstruction of the medical and public health system, but also the "readily available" supply of products.

through a series of scientific and technological practices and breakthroughs, it will be beneficial to achieve the effective integration of medical care, long-term care, hospice care, and the mental health of the elderly, and establish a closely linked system between the elderly care industry and the health industry.

in particular, the use of artificial intelligence technology, big data measurement and filing, and the connection between grassroots family doctor contracts, community elderly people, chronic disease patients and nursing homes are what the people are looking forward to.

it can be seen from this that smart health care, which carries high-tech in its genes, must learn to sink if it wants to enter the mass market.

stepping out of the laboratory and into thousands of households, becoming smart health care products and services that can be touched, used and consumed by the people, providing for the elderly may no longer be a heavy topic.
