ABSTRACT: Smart home-based care for elderly is the product of the “Internet+” era, along with the information technology and the growing needs for a
better elderly life. In order to understand the influencing factors of smart
home care in Hengshui city, this paper selected 183 elderly people through a
questionnaire survey. The conclusion of the study showed that education level,
economic status, sleep quality and residence conditions are the influencing
factors affecting the needs of smart home care of the elderly (p 0.05). Smart home care
products for the elderly have a high willingness to use them, especially in
terms of life care, medical services and emotional talk, but the compliance
still needs to be improved. Development countermeasures suitable for Hengshui
city can be put forward through the publicity of smart elderly care services,
promoting the construction of demand-oriented big data, and promoting the
participation of various forces.
