Abstract

With the gradual popularization and application of the Internet and the aggravation of China's aging phenomenon since the 21st century. This paper find that telemedicine and related services are gradually emerging. However, there are still some problems with the feasibility of telemedicine. This paper uses the questionnaire survey method, uses the questionnaire star website to distribute 60 questionnaires to the elderly group aged 60 to 80, and uses SPSS to analyze the frequency and correlation of the questionnaire results. In addition, this paper is based on the data from the official website of the National Bureau of Statistics and other official websites. It analyzes the application status of telemedicine in the context of aging. It also analyzes the challenges that telemedicine faces. The study finds that most elderly people have some understanding of telemedicine and related services, and the younger middle-aged and elderly people (around 60 years old) have a higher awareness than the older elderly (aged 65 - 80 years old and above). However, the application of telemedicine in the elderly population still faces many deep-rooted problems, such as low technology acceptance and difficult operation. In response to these problems, this paper puts forward some feasible suggestions.
