With 310.31 million residents aged 60+ accounting for 22% of its population as of late 2024, China is pioneering innovative approaches to elderly care through technology integration. Carl Wu, CEO of United Family Healthcare, outlines a vision where 'aging at home' becomes sustainable through smart solutions.
In a recent Health Talk interview, Wu emphasized sensor networks and wearable devices as critical tools for remote health monitoring. 'These technologies enable real-time data sharing with medical professionals while preserving seniors' independence,' he explained, noting practical home modifications like adjustable beds and safety rails are gaining traction.
Artificial intelligence forms the cornerstone of Wu's strategy, predicting AI systems will streamline diagnostics and treatment planning. 'By automating routine tasks, doctors gain capacity for complex case analysis and personalized care,' the healthcare leader stated.
This tech-forward approach addresses both quality-of-life concerns and systemic pressures as China's senior population grows. Industry analysts suggest these developments could set global benchmarks for aging societies.
