Abstract

This article uses technical case analysis and field survey data to study the application of smart wearable devices in elderly care. Firstly, the research background is introduced, that is, with the huge number of elderly people and the increasingly serious aging trend, the physical and mental health of the elderly need to be paid attention to; secondly, the technical characteristics of smart wearable devices and the special needs of the elderly for smart wearable devices are analyzed. Further focused analysis on the health monitoring function of existing smart wearable devices, and preliminary prediction of the development direction of smart wearable devices are given as well; thirdly, through the author’s field research data, it is found that the elderly hope that smart wearable devices can give them more help in entertainment and health. Finally, the author concludes that the development trend of smart wearable devices in the field of elderly care will be reflected in entertainment support and health management.
