At present, China has entered an aging society facing the dual challenges of “growing old before becoming affluent” and “aging without adequate preparation”, leading to significant eldercare pressures. With the rapid development of smart healthcare, the elderly population’s diverse, differentiated, and personalized medical demands have become increasingly prominent, presenting new challenges for geriatric healthcare services. This article elaborates and analyzes the elderly healthcare policies and the healthcare challenges faced by the elderly under China’s national strategy for actively addressing population aging. It also introduces the practical experience of intelligent elderly medical assistance in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from the aspects of enhanced appointment coordination mechanisms, refined treatment workflow optimization, and upgraded patient-centered service provisions. The research ultimately proposes actionable management strategies to achieve intelligent continuity in geriatric care delivery.
