Application And Exploration of Smart Platform in Alleviating Psychological Problems of The Elderly

Abstract

This article delves into the psychological adaptation issues faced by the elderly population in the context of rapid development of digitalization, artificial intelligence, and big data technologies. Research has shown that the intelligent elderly care model has a double-edged sword effect. On the one hand, it provides convenient life services and medical care for the elderly, but on the other hand, it also brings significant psychological challenges. The psychological adaptation problems of elderly people mainly stem from four dimensions: cognitive conflicts between traditional concepts and emerging technologies, increased loneliness caused by shrinking social circles, unfamiliarity and alienation caused by the use of smart devices, and discomfort caused by changes in lifestyle habits. Based on the perspective of elderly care institutions, this article proposes five systematic response measures: establishing a progressive intelligent technology training system to help the elderly gradually master new technologies; Build a social support network that combines online and offline activities to alleviate feelings of loneliness; Develop intelligent products and services that are suitable for aging and lower the threshold for use; Provide professional psychological counseling services and intervene in psychological problems in a timely manner; Establish a support mechanism for family community institution linkage and form a comprehensive care system. These suggestions not only help alleviate the psychological adaptation pressure of the elderly population, but also provide practical guidance for optimizing the services of elderly care institutions in China, and have important reference value for promoting the sustainable development of smart elderly care.
