Abstract

The problem of global aging is becoming increasingly serious, and the issue of the elderly has become a focus of social concern. At present, the facilities and conditions of nursing homes, apartments for the elderly and community care for the elderly are not yet perfect, and it is difficult to meet the needs of the elderly in their twilight years. In order to meet this challenge, many countries have put forward the concept of "aging in place", the provision of elderly services without changing the living environment of the elderly. The Chinese Government not only advocates "aging in place" but also actively promotes "aging at home", which has become one of the most common forms of aging in China, in accordance with the actual situation in the country. With the development of modern intelligent technology, high-tech intelligent technology is gradually applied to daily life, providing a convenient and comfortable living environment for the elderly. The introduction of smart home technology not only enhances the independence of the elderly's life but also provides a new direction for the intelligent development of the future elderly model.
