Abstract

Over the next three decades, it is anticipated that China’s aging population will propel steady growth in elderly healthcare and senior care technologies. With its broad consumer base, long industrial chain, and variety of needs, the silver economy will provide the digital healthcare sector with a lot of prospects and enhance the well-being of the elderly while also promoting the sustainable development of the socio-economic environment. Research on digital healthcare services for the elderly is gaining traction in the digital economy era, although thorough studies in this area are still very uncommon. Therefore, in order to investigate potential future trends in digital healthcare services from the perspective of the silver economy, this research uses the visualization tool CiteSpace6.3.R1 to perform descriptive statistics, clustering analysis, and co-occurrence analysis on 639 relevant papers. The findings indicate that although China’s research in this field began later than that of other nations, it offers distinct benefits and enormous potential. Due to the irreversibility of population aging, digital health management in the context of the silver economy is likely to become a focal point of future digital society research. Innovation in the field of digital healthcare is being driven by the proper integration of advanced digital technologies like artificial intelligence and big data. In conclusion, this paper develops a research paradigm for the administration of digital healthcare services from the standpoint of the silver economy. This study offers cutting-edge insights and theoretical references, giving academics insightful advice on current research trends and possible future approaches.
