With the trend of global population aging escalating, the problem of population aging in China is becoming increasingly prominent. The traditional home-based elderly care model and institutional elderly care model are being challenged, showing a clear mismatch between elderly care service supply and demand. In light of this context, smart elderly care, has emerged. As an information technology-based model, smart elderly care has become a key focus area for preferential policy support. This study focuses on smart elderly care policies and identifies four directions of current policy research, including technology application and innovation, service system optimization, policy support and establishment of standards, as well as social coordination mechanisms. Specifically, it involves promoting the widespread adoption of technologies such as smart wearable devices, telemedicine, and home monitoring systems to achieve intelligent health monitoring and emergency response; integrating community, institutional, and home-based elderly care resources to build a comprehensive "internet + elderly care" platform that offers personalized services; encouraging active involvement of enterprises through fiscal subsidies, tax benefits, and other incentive measures provided by the government; improving data security and industry standards; promoting multi-stakeholder cooperation, including families, communities, businesses, and non-profit organizations, to establish a sustainable elderly care model. Regarding the core problems of high technology costs, a digital divide among the elderly,and privacy protection, the government should accelerate the implementation ofage-friendlydesign, while leveraging pilot programs to promote mature models, achieving widespread adoption of smart elderly care, and enhancing the effectiveness of policy implementation.
