Beijing, May 2025: Health Talk: Chinese wisdom delivers fresh answers to aging challenges. At the 11th China International Senior Services Expo, cutting-edge solutions—ranging from AI-powered companion robots to wireless health monitoring systems—are attracting global interest.
"China is at the edge of technology breakthroughs, including artificial intelligence, robotics and wireless monitoring systems," said Vadim Samorodov, head of the Public Affairs Department at the Russian Scientific and Clinical Center on Gerontology, in an interview with CGTN.
Among the standout innovations, companion robots can hold conversations, offer medication reminders and detect signs of distress, bridging the gap between seniors and caregivers. Meanwhile, remote monitoring platforms use sensors and cloud analytics to track vital signs in real time, alerting families and medical teams to potential issues before they escalate.
These advances not only promise more independence for older adults but also a scalable model for aging societies worldwide. As populations age, experts believe such technologies could redefine senior care, making it more proactive, personalized and connected.
From Beijing to abroad, the ripple effects of China’s smart senior care are already being felt. For digital nomads, tech enthusiasts and global citizens alike, the expo showcased how a blend of traditional wisdom and modern tech can tackle one of humanity’s most pressing challenges: aging with dignity.
