Abstract: This paper explores strategies to enhance the application ability of digital health resources among the elderly, addressing the challenges posed by the digital divide. As the global population ages, effective health management for seniors becomes increasingly important. The study highlights the significance of technology training and education, social support networks, and design thinking in improving elderly individuals' digital health literacy. By implementing comprehensive training programs and fostering community support, seniors can gain the necessary skills and confidence to utilize digital health tools effectively. The paper also emphasizes the need for age-friendly technology that caters to the specific needs of older adults. Successful case studies, such as China's "Healthy China Action" and the U.S. "Senior Tech" program, demonstrate the positive impact of these strategies. Ultimately, enhancing the elderly's capacity to use digital health resources is a collaborative effort that requires ongoing innovation, policy support, and community engagement, ensuring that seniors can enjoy the benefits of modern healthcare technologies while improving their quality of life.
