Abstract: The conventional wisdom about caring for the elderly inside families is crumbling under the weight of a fast-changing society and the mounting problems caused by an aging population. Smart senior care services leverage cutting-edge technology like AI, IoT, and big data analytics to provide comprehensive, specifically personalized care. This paper explores the theoretical foundations, practical applications, challenges, and recommended solutions for smart care services for the elderly using specific case studies to illustrate possible trends in future development. These services’ technical foundation consists of big data analysis to help identify the needs of the elderly, internet of things (IoT) to enable real-time monitoring, and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that offer smart health management solutions. These services include a wide range of tasks, such as monitoring health, helping with everyday tasks, and responding to emergencies. Costs, data security, and privacy protection are three of the many obstacles to marketing and expanding these services. A variety of approaches, including increased public awareness, supporting legislation, and regulatory actions, are proposed in the paper as potential solutions to these problems. Smart senior care services show great potential for home-based care, according to case studies. As time goes on and society evolves, these services are predicted to become more popular, making life easier and more pleasant for elders.
