Abstract: In recent years, China's population aging and social digitalization have been deepened. The active response to population aging has been a vital issue of widespread concern in society. Broad prospects can be seen in the integrated development of the Internet and various fields. As a new elderly care model that integrates technology and elderly care, smart elderly care has become an irreversible trend of the times. Till now, the connotation and development of smart elderly care has been defined by academia in multiple dimensions, and numerous local characteristics have been found in smart elderly care in China. However, smart elderly care is at the primary stage in China with difficulties such as an imperfect standard system, underdeveloped industrial order, imbalance between supply and demand, insufficient information sharing, unresolved digital dilemma and limited social recognition. In the future, we should optimize top-level design, realize multi-governance, adhere to cross-border integration, promote age-friendly technology, change the concept of elderly care, and bridge the digital divide, so as to boost the sustainable and desirable development of smart elderly care in Chin.
