A newly built elderly care center in China's eastern town of Wuzhen is using smart digital technology to improve the quality of care for its senior residents, offering them enhanced safety and greater convenience. Established in November last year, the Wuzhen Intelligent Elderly Care Center has enhanced its services by applying a digital twin system, with residents wearing positioning devices that track their real-time movements within the center, ensuring timely assistance if needed. Additionally, the center uses a smart health monitoring system to track the seniors' sleep patterns, which helps the staff offer more personalized care based on the monitored information. As digital technology and AI robotics become more widely used in elderly care, experts believe they can assist staff with various supportive tasks, though there are limitations. Luo believes that almost 60 percent of jobs related to elderly care will be replaced in the future. He also encourages research institutes to fully work with elderly care services to understand the needs of senior citizens and develop AI products that they truly need.
