Today's China is accelerating its entry into an aging society. Under the background of the serious gap between supply and demand in the traditional pension market, social problems such as "empty nesters" and "digital divide" have attracted more and more attention. In order to actively respond to the trend of population aging and promote the sustained and healthy development of the pension industry, the concept of "smart pension" came into being, and many regions in China have made bold explorations and practices in this regard. At the Shanghai Geriatric, Auxiliary and Rehabilitation Medical Expo held from June 9th to 1 1, a large number of "black technologies" suitable for the elderly appeared, which made people see the new development trend of "smart pension". The beautiful idea of "silver-haired people" smoothly integrating into the digital age and sharing the development dividend in the information age is coming into reality step by step.
From split wheelchair beds, emergency pagers, portable health follow-up packages, to nursing robots and intelligent nursing systems, these imaginative and futuristic old-age technology products represent the concept update of smart old-age care from focusing on hardware to focusing on technology application scenarios and paying more attention to the service experience of the elderly. The centralized application, integration and innovation of new technologies such as big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence have formed a smart retirement community that cares for all aspects of the daily life of the elderly, bringing them a new feeling of being more convenient, more comfortable and more fun. In terms of mobile terminals, more and more Internet apps have recently launched the "Old Age Edition" in a timely manner, adopting a simple and easy-to-operate interface mode to realize a variety of barrier-free functions such as one-click operation and text input prompts, and establish close ties with children, relatives and friends to help the elderly cross the "digital divide".
The development direction of "smart pension" is to continuously promote the development of smart and healthy pension industry, expand the application of information technology in the field of pension, and realize the advancement and continuous improvement of the pension service system. Its contents include not only the construction of health service system for the elderly, but also the system construction of combining family, community, institution and medical care, as well as the construction of the whole society's aging-friendly environment and aging-friendly policy system.
In the traditional view, the slow acceptance of new technology by the elderly is the main reason why they become "refugees" on the Internet. But in fact, if we can fully consider the actual needs of the elderly and help them form new consumption habits, it also has a strong user stickiness, which can give birth to many new formats such as "silver hair economy". It is necessary for us to continue to improve the top-level design of smart pension, create a more friendly technical environment for the elderly, create a more suitable social living environment for the elderly, promote more refined, diversified and intelligent pension services, and implement the fine tradition of respecting the elderly in every detail of social management, so that the elderly can enjoy the development dividend in the information age and have a colorful and happy life.
